"First Light" is Turner Cody's second full length album of original material and evokes musical styles firmly rooted in the American experience, from jazzy standard-esque tunes to sweeping lyrical ballads and blues driven boogie woogie. Beneath the exterior of acoustic and electric guitars, bass, drums, and horns, it is Cody's lyricism that is the driving force of "First Light". His words can be touchingly direct, as in the title track "First Light" and the lazy road song "Lowlands", but also abstract and narrative as in "Camptown Ladies" and "Irene". In every case, however, his songs show the highest degree of attention to craft and detail. Cody's work harks back to the sensibility of what a song should be; poetic constructions of meter, rhyme, and melody.

Turner is the co-founder, along with the Moldy Peaches’ Adam Green, of Brooklyn's very own Hassid Meets Hipster, now in its fifth year, which is a truly bohemian experience you won’t forget in a hurry. When he isn't playing, writing or recording, Turner Cody enjoys reading the paper and spinning old records at bars in NYC’s East Village or on his radio show on Brooklyn Radio Dot Net.
