Cody Jinks Joins Rounder Records Roster, Thirty Tigers To Release Jinks’ Catalog

Cody Jinks has signed with Rounder Records. His debut album for the label, Lifers, is slated for release July 27. The project’s first single, “Must Be the Whiskey” is due out June 15.

“When I became the President of Rounder in the Fall of 2017, I’d already been involved in Cody’s career for a couple years,” said Rounder Records President John Strohm. “I’m well aware of his immense talent, personal integrity, and work ethic.” He continues, “It’s been my top priority since I started my job last fall to sign Cody, and I could not be more thrilled for Rounder and Concord Music to have the opportunity to work with such an incredible, groundbreaking artist.”

“Cody is a very special, unique, one of a kind artist,” said Tom Whalley, Chief Label Officer at Concord. “He’s an abundantly gifted singer, songwriter, and performer, and I’m very proud that he has chosen to work with our team at Rounder.”

Due to his unique marketing strategy, Jinks has sold in excess of 225k independently-released records and consistently sells out shows all over the country. Thirty Tigers has entered into an agreement to reissue Jinks’ back catalog, including 2016’s breakthrough I’m Not the Devil.

“I set out to find a great partner to license my new album to - a record company that believed in my music and my vision, ” said Jinks. “I definitely found that with Rounder Records.”
