Nashville country singer-songwriter Cody Pennington brings his chart-topping hits and country classics to The Live Rooms.
Cody Pennington brings his country show to The Live Rooms on Sunday 25 April, his first Chester date in a while. He's a Nashville-based singer-songwriter who swapped a career in law for music full-time, and he's returning to the UK with a set he describes as bigger, louder and more electric than before.
Pennington released a self-titled album in April 2026, a 16-track record that includes singles like 'Whiskey's Better' and 'Til It Isn't'. Since then, he's been named one of country music's rising stars, with nominations from the British Country Music Awards and the CMT Music Awards, and collaborations with Dolly Parton, Keith Urban and Carrie Underwood. His previous UK tours sold nearly 20,000 tickets, and he's now back after more than 70,000 sold worldwide.
The set pairs his own chart-toppers — 'Downtown', 'Cowboy Sitting at the Bar' and 'Nothing on Us' — with songs from current country stars like Luke Combs, Morgan Wallen and Chris Stapleton, alongside timeless names like Garth Brooks, Dolly Parton and Johnny Cash. It's a Nashville-style night, so you'll get his own material and a fair few covers from the country songbook in one go.
