Ben Rector and Cody Fry perform with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra June 20 and 21.
In Tuesday’s (6/18) Fox 5 Atlanta, Paul Milliken writes, “Ask Cody Fry to describe his own musical output, and you’ll be met with a brief pause. ‘I don’t know,’ he finally says. ‘I usually just say “orchestral pop.” ’ But those two words just don’t seem sufficient when you hear a song like ‘Waltz for Sweatpants.’ Fry’s Grammy-nominated style of Technicolor-drenched crooning has made him a bonafide viral sensation, his songs garnering millions of global streams. Now, he’s on a North American symphony tour, co-headlining several dates with longtime friend Ben Rector. The duo will perform with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra this Thursday and Friday. ‘I’m so excited,’ says Fry about the Atlanta shows. ‘These shows are just really special generally, but this one in particular is really special because Atlanta asked my father to conduct! So the conductor for the show will be my dad, which is really cool.’ ”
