Back in 2002, Cody ChesnuTT released his critically acclaimed double-disc debut The Headphone Masterpiece, which mixed Marvin Gaye and Prince-inspired soul and R&B with elements of rock, hip hop, funk and a dash of punk. After its release ChesnuTT seemingly disappeared, choosing to stay at home to raise his family, instead of pursuing rock stardom. Earlier this year ChesnuTT returned with his long awaited full-length follow up Landing on a Hundred, crafting a modern-day soul classic that harkens back to Sly Stone at his finest. On January 25, ChesnuTT will kick off the North American leg of his world tour at the famed Troubadour in Los Angeles and the tour will wrap roughly three weeks later with a gig at The Hamilton, in Washington, D.C. on February 14, before his heads across the pond for a slew of European dates.
If you’re not into a night with Mr. ChesnuTT, then maybe you’ll be interested in hitting one of these recently announced tours…
Back in 2002, Cody ChesnuTT seemed poised to take the world by storm with the release of his critically-acclaimed, sprawling, double-disc debut The Headphone Masterpiece. The album mixed Marvin Gaye and Prince-inspired soul and R&B with elements of rock, hip hop, a dash of punk and included the song The Seed, which The Roots co-opted for their ’02 release Phrenology.
After a ten year wait the multi-talented singer-songwriter released his full-length follow-up Landing on a Hundred last month. While his debut sampled from numerous genres, ChesnuTT’s latest in drenched in classic soul sounds from the ’60s and ’70s. Check out this solo performance of That’s Still Mama…
