Now, the Texas-born artist, 44, is bringing <a href=\"https:\/\/americansongwriter.com\/cody-jinks-discusses-his-new-single-the-others-and-how-he-brings-punk-rock-ethos-to-country-music-exclusive\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">those punk rock sensibilities<\/a> to Nashville. As Americans gear up to celebrate Independence Day this Friday, Jinks planned to perform two shows for his Canadian fans. Unfortunately, it appears that a snafu at the U.S.-Canada border has derailed those plans.<\/p>\n<p>            Cody Jinks Will Refund Fans For Canceled Canadian Shows<\/p>\n<p>Currently crossing the U.S. on his Hippies and Cowboys Tour, Cody Jinks didn\u2019t forget our northern neighbors. He scheduled the first of two British Columbia shows on Friday, July 4, at Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, an issue at the U.S.-Canada border forced Jinks to cancel that show, along with a July 5 set at Prospera Place in Kelowna.<\/p>\n<p>In a Wednesday (July 2) post to social media, the \u201cLoud and Heavy\u201d hitmaker shared the bad news. Evidently, the Canada Border Services Agency denied entry to production trucks carrying equipment for his shows.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGetting them into Canada was made a logistic impossibility despite following all of the prescribed procedures given to us,\u201d Jinks wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, this led to the \u201cdifficult decisions\u201d to scrap Jinks\u2019 two shows. \u201cIt is incredibly important to me that everyone who spends their hard-earned money to see a show gets the absolute best experience possible,\u201d he wrote. \u201cAnd right now, that standard just can\u2019t be met without my trucks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued, \u201cIt kills me to have to do this because putting on these shows for you guys has always been the greatest joy of my career. But unfortunately my hands are tied.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All ticket holders will receive a refund automatically credited to their original payment method within 30 days.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/americansongwriter.com\/cody-jinks-shows-his-fangs-with-defiant-new-track-snake-bit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">[RELATED: Cody Jinks Shows His Fangs with Defiant New Track \u201cSnake Bit\u201d\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A New Album Is Coming This Month<\/p>\n<p>Possibly lessening the sting of disappointment somewhat, Cody Jinks will release new music this month.
