Laura Bryna – Cody Johnson After Party

Join us for a very special Cody Johnson after party at Buffalo Iron Works featuring country musician Laura Bryna on Friday February 21st, 2025!

With the arrival of her fierce and fiery single “Jawbreaker” in fall 2022, Laura Bryna kicked off a bold new era of her extraordinary career. A wildly catchy anthem full of sass, swagger, and so much heart, “Jawbreaker” spotlights Bryna’s larger-than-life energy and powerhouse voice like never before, echoing the unapologetic freedom she’s recently discovered in her songwriting. For the latest turn in a whirlwind journey that’s included sharing stages with superstars like Taylor Swift and legends like Emmylou Harris—and making an indelible impact as a U.S. Air National Guard spokesperson, humanitarian, radio host, and children’s book author—Bryna is now gearing up to share a body of work that blurs genres and bends the rules all in the name of a good time.

Based in Nashville and Los Angeles, Bryna has spent much of the past year working with A-list collaborators like Cameron Bartolini (whose credits include Walker Hayes’ six-times-platinum “Fancy Like”) and Jonny Price (Tim McGraw, Keith Urban, Duncan Laurence), building up a batch of songs that bring a gritty but fun-loving flavor to modern-day Country. As she reveals, “Jawbreaker” was a major turning point in uncovering the raw emotional truth of her new material. “I love a good anthem, so I wanted to write one that would empower women everywhere to be the most authentic version of themselves they can be,” Bryna explains. “It’s saying, ‘This is who I am, take it or leave it,’ which is exactly how I felt when we were writing.”

In fall 2023, Bryna doubled down on that unbridled authenticity with the release of “Certified”—a gloriously rowdy track that warns off any man who might even attempt to outshine her. Supported by more than 100 radio stations (and later remixed by fast-rising producer Deerock), the arena-sized rocker shot to the top 50 on both the Mediabase Indicator and MusicRow charts and soon became a top trending song on Shazam due to its massive popularity. Meanwhile, its captivating video quickly amassed over one million views and led to more than 3,000 user-generated videos on TikTok.
