Cody Boston is the founder and president of Flew the Coop Sessions, a KC based live session series featuring artists of all kinds from all over. With over 100 sessions now published, Flew the Coop Sessions came from humble beginnings in a former animal coop-turned-DIY-recording studio in North Lawrence, KS. Now popping up in unique locations and venues all around town, the series has formed as a non-profit to better apply for funding opportunities so it can keep offering its services to local artists free of charge.
