He celebrates the long-awaited milestone starting today with a stop by “Coffee, Country, & Cody” and a live EP release party at 9:00 p.m. CT tonight on Instagram that will include performance and a special guest. On Friday (May 29), he’ll join Country Rebel for a live performance at 7:30 p.m. CT.  Fans can also catch Bandi on Circle Network’s “Circle Sessions: At Home,” which premiered over the weekend, along with his “My Opry Debut” clip documenting his first steps into the sacred circle earlier this year.     “It feels incredible to be able to put out my debut EP,” says Bandi. “I’ve been saying since I moved to Nashville that we were going to have something out and to be able to do that and have songs that I feel so passionate about is a feeling that I can’t even really describe.  I am so excited…so pumped…and I cannot wait for ya’ll to hear it.” The seven-song collection, four of which are co-written by Bandi, includes his “introspective” (The Boot) mega-hit, “Man Enough Now,” which has racked up over 80 million global streams and counting and is currently climbing the country radio charts. With American Songwriter proclaiming, “if there was ever a time when Bandi had an inferno raging in his heart to make his country music dreams a reality, it is now,” he is poised for the next level as the highly anticipated EP showcases how the singer “balances vocal ability with the sensitivity he pours into his music,” (Sounds Like Nashville).
