What happens when three musicians decide to drop the act and show up as their real selves?
In this episode, The Codas — Braden, Taylor, and Josh — join Buzz Bishop to talk about how music, brotherhood, and honesty have become their tools for navigating mental health. From journaling, group songwriting and calling each other out with love, this rising Canadian folk-rock artists open up about the power of small changes and honest conversations.
Their new album, Counterfeit Cowboy, explores what it means to let go of the fake tough guy persona and be real. Even more, $1 from every ticket on their tour supports the Canadian Men’s Health Foundation’s mental health no-cost counselling initiative.
Whether you're in your feelings or just finding the courage to share them, this episode offers music, meaning, and a whole lot of heart.
