From http://www.tinybillcody.com/ tiny bill cody is an artist / musician / performer who YODELS. he sometimes PREACHES, usually SINGS, has received a small but impressive level of praise because he WRITES his own songs, weird little nervous contemporary songs which are more often than not supported by a guitar he STRUMS. if you are lucky, you will see him perform with his BAND, known currently as ‘The Liquormen’
tiny bill cody believes that the only way to succeed in this world is to vigoroursly promote and pursue his own OBSCURITY. to date, he has not been steered off the path towards this goal.
in addition to regular performances, tiny bill cody has launched an ongoing series called the ‘UNLIKELY CONCERTS’, performances designed specifically to celebrate obscure circumstances and locations. the first five ‘unlikely concerts’ occurred in saskatoon, saskatchewan in june 2004 as part of the SPASM II contemporary art festival, and featured shows in the MENS BATHROOM of the mendel gallery, a STAIRWELL, a GROVE OF TREES near the saskatchewan river, among others. tiny bill delivered another ‘unlikely concert’ in hamilton, ontario in december, staging a mock HOLIDAY SPECIAL in the small lobby of the mcmaster museum of art. more ‘unlikely concerts’ are being devised for 2005…
