Though Trevor Dahl says that none of the members of Cheat Codes are in the LGBTQ community themselves, they make an effort to represent same sex couples in their music videos and use their voice on social media to provide support and spread awareness on issues the community is facing. “And then from there, we’ve had opportunities to go to events and work with other companies that support LGBTQ communities.” It’s a different vibe, different energy.“I think just by existing, it is supporting the community by us being unapologetically ourselves,” Johnathan Dahl says. KEVI, who has attended both Coachella and Stagecoach, believes the latter to be more family-oriented, observing that it’s much less about clout than “everyone having a good time together. “It’s fun for us we were having a good time,” recalls Dahl.
That’s what sells you on it.” During the event, Cheat Codes hung out with Lee Brice and his band, and the trio also tossed back tequila shots with Guy Fieri. While favorite songs of hers include “I Will Always Love You” and “Jolene,” the trio says if it had to choose, its idea for the country icon is most aligned with the even poppier “9 to 5.” Stagecoach FestivalĪll three members mention the importance of attending California’s Stagecoach Festival in late April, with Russell saying, “I guess it’s similar to EDM in a way, where country music is the music but it’s also the lifestyle. As for other inspirations, the trio is unanimously all-in on Dolly Parton (Russell grew up going to the Dixie Stampede in Branson, Mo.), and the act even has a song concept for her that she may make a surprise appearance on.
“I’ve always loved that country-pop stuff, and being able to dive into it with our music is really cool and something that I didn’t necessarily think we would be able to do when we started,” he says. Thanks to his sister, Dahl was exposed to country music in elementary school and later became a fan of everyone from Rascal Flatts to Taylor Swift.
