Bobby Lee Rodgers has been overshadowed in the past by the legendary presence of Colonel Bruce Hampton. But recently, the Colonel has stepped back to give BLR his full, earned limelight.
While their name may have become synonymous with Colonel Bruce Hampton, the Colonel has always maintained a godfather relationship with the core trio of Bobby Lee Rodgers (guitar), Tyler Greenwell (drums) and Ted Pecchio (upright bass).

Codetalkers can be traced to its legendary featured player, the
ursine, craggy-voiced guitarist and “godfather of Southern
alternative music,” Col. Bruce Hampton.
