Music insiders are taking a very close look at Jody Lee Petty, the charismatic country singer from Greensboro, North Carolina. Nashville-based producers, publishers, and publicists are putting their efforts behind this rising star not only because he has everything it takes to succeed, more importantly he doesn't sound like anyone filling the contemporary country music scene today.
Who does he sound like? To answer simply, he is authentically Jody Lee Petty, a humble man of southern charm and amazing energy. Petty has appeared live with Colt Ford, Justin Moore, Molly Hachet, Rascal Flatts, Sugarland, Jason Aldean, Toby Keith, Montgomery Gentry, Blackfoot, and Josh Thompson among others in an active touring schedule.
Done My Time, Petty's Nashville-produced EP is slated for release in 2011, with a second EP scheduled to follow immediately. His original songs are typically upbeat country tunes with universal appeal written from Petty's southern roots and life experience. He writes what he knows and the life he has lived. As new songs emerge, Jody continues to explore his sound with a voice that is distinctively his own.

“Jody Lee Petty has the complete dream country rock package; great music, great voice, great looks, great band and great stage presence. Jody Lee is a true star on the horizon.” Geoff Hughes, Mid-Atlantic Entertainment
