Product DescriptionCopper is a pop/roots rock band in Cincinnati, Ohio.
I started Copper in the summer of 2013 as a recording project for pop/rock/folk songs I have written over the past decade as a Cincinnati guitarist/singer. Copper's debut disc--"Fade to White"--is scheduled for release on June 13, 2014, and was produced and recorded by Matt Hueneman of Cattle Dog Productions. It features 9 original songs written by me, and I also sang and played guitar and most of the bass tracks. Many other local musicians contributed time, talent and encouragement in the making of this disc: Chris Arduser on drums, percussion and mandolin; George Cunningham and Brian Lovely on lead guitars; Matt Hueneman, who added guitar and keyboard tracks in addition to his producer's role; Krystal Peterson on vocals; Charlie Fletcher on piano and Hohner; Ben Walkenhauer and Randy Villars on horns; and Bob Nyswonger on bass. (I even managed to snag Rob Fetters one day for a tasty guitar track on "The Daily Dead.") I could not, and would not have done it without these superbly gifted men and women.
It has been a long journey. The songs are about people I have met or known about in my nearly sixty years, and the stories are all true--though the names have been changed in some instances to protect the guilty. I hope you like the songs.
