About Cody Nelson

Lead Guitar

Cody was born and raised in Wichita, Kansas. His first real introduction to playing music took place when he started playing violin in elementary school. He applied his musical talent to the guitar in Middle school, playing both instruments for various events at his High School. He then received a music scholarship and attended Friends University, graduating with a degree in Music Business. During his time there, he studied jazz and classical guitar, and played in classical ensembles, small jazz groups and big bands. -->

His love for the guitar found its way into many other facets of his life outside of school. He has played guitar at church virtually every Sunday for almost twenty years. He has also played for Music Theater of Wichita, Music Theater for Young People, Gridiron, various high school theatre pit orchestras and multiple funk and rock bands around Wichita. He also spent years working at a local musical instrument retailer, and has had many local guitar students over the years through local lesson studios. -->

Now, with a family and a career, Cody is looking forward to focusing his playing and is excited to lend his six strings to Marc Baker and Untamed Country!-->
