Cordovas are an Americana rock band out of Nashville whose sound, equal parts soulful harmony, poetic craft, and cosmic improvisation, has long earned comparisons to The Band, Grateful Dead, and Crosby, Stills & Nash
But with their fifth studio album, ‘Back To Life’ (out January 30, 2026, on Yep Roc Records), the group sharpens the edges of its identity: road-tested, deeply traditional in the ways that matter, and determined to be respected on its own terms.
With Back to Life, Cordovas are also turning their focus toward something new: building a business framework that matches the artistry they’ve been cultivating for over a decade. After years of keeping their heads down, writing, touring, and perfecting their sound, the band feels this is the record that can propel them into the space they’ve always deserved to occupy. They’ve worked harder than ever, not only on the songs themselves but on the structure around them, bringing the same discipline and fire they apply to their music into the way they release it. The result is an album that shows the full breadth of their talents while positioning the band for a future that finally mirrors their ambition.
Through it all, Cordovas remain a band defined by integrity and a hunger for success. They’re traditionalists in the sense that they care about songs, about craft, about doing the work. They’ve taken the long road, built their own world, and now, with Back to Life, they’re stepping forward with their most focused and fully realized music yet.
