How Cody Hibbard Went From Oil Fields to The Road with Keith Urban

Country artist Cody Hibbard sits down with That Nashville Girl to talk about his breakout moment on Keith Urban’s CBS show The Road, his life before music, and the unexpected path that led him from the oil fields to national television.

Before building a massive social following and touring the country, Cody was working in oil and gas, helping on the family farm in Oklahoma, and playing songs in small Texas bars. Then one opportunity changed everything.

In this episode, Cody shares:

• Behind-the-scenes stories from The Road
• What Keith Urban, Gretchen Wilson, and Blake Shelton were really like
• Why he almost said no to the show
• His journey from the Naval Academy to country music
• Being adopted from South Korea and growing up in Oklahoma
• The truth about social media fame and going viral
• Addiction, recovery, fatherhood, and second chances
• Why authenticity matters more than industry hype

Plus live performances of:

🎵 “Had It Been a Boy” 🎵 “Barrel Gone Bad”
