GET TO KNOW CODY CANADA & THE DEPARTED.
Cody Canada & The Departed connect one of Red Dirt’s most recognizable voices with a band built for roots rock. Canada carried the songwriting and guitar identity developed with Cross Canadian Ragweed into a separate group, creating room for blues, soul and country influences within the same live-minded framework.
The sound is driven by electric guitar and ensemble interplay. Canada’s phrasing can carry a reflective lyric without softening the band’s attack, and the rhythm section gives familiar songs a different weight. Listening across the catalog reveals both an Oklahoma songwriting lineage and a continuing interest in stretching its arrangements.

The Departed formed after Ragweed’s original run, with This Is Indian Land introducing the project in 2011. HippieLovePunk followed in 2015. Soul Gravy 2022 revisited Ragweed’s 2004 album through new recordings, making the relationship between Canada’s two bands explicit while preserving The Departed’s separate identity.
COLLABORATIONS & CONNECTIONS.
Bassist Jeremy Plato shared the Ragweed history with Canada, while co-founder Seth James brought a distinct blues-and-soul voice to the early Departed lineup. That partnership helps explain why the group’s first records reach beyond a straightforward continuation of the earlier band.
