The Cody Sisters

"All the quiet people have got a lot to say," sing the Cody Sisters on the title track to their forthcoming album. And the group—Maddie Cody, Megan Cody, and Will Pavilonis—has spent the better part of their young lives proving it, whether they're collaborating as writers, harmonizing on bluegrass stages, or inviting fans to share their own stories. "This feels like a project where we're just jumpstarting everything," says Maddie of All the Quiet People, recorded at Vermillion Studios with producer Mike Robinson and Engineer Eric Wiggs. "We've gone through a transitional period with our genre, with the way that we approach music. As we've grown, we've leaned into the sounds that feel truest to who we are." Maddie and Megan have been making music together since ages six and eight, respectively. Raised on the Colorado folk and bluegrass scene—with encouragement from their dad, who often played guitar around the house and was the original bass player in the band—festivals like RockyGrass were high notes amidst a lifelong musical awakening filled with live performances, songwriting, and travel. With Maddie on banjo, Megan on mandolin, and both women trading turns on the guitar, the sisters built a following quite early for their resonant harmonies and meticulous instrumental chops.The Cody Sisters took on a new depth in 2020 when bassist Will Pavilonis became part of the band, bringing fresh dimensions to their arrangements and sound.
