Like
 all
 families,
Kopecky
 Family
 Band beats
with
 the
 same
 heart
 and
rites
 in
 the
 same
 blood.
 ‘The
 Family’ began 
creating 
music 
together 
in
Nashville, 
Tennessee 
in 
the 
Fall 
of 
2007. 
What 
began 
as 
late 
night 
talks
 about
 life and
 dreams 
gradually 
flowed 
into 
eccentric 
and 
beautiful 
music 
that 
has 
led 
to 
numerous
 tours, 
including
 adventures 
to 
CMJ, 
SXSW 
and 
Bonnaroo, 
three 
EP
 releases 
and
 friendships
 across
 the
 country.

Leading
 the
 family 
are
 singers
 Gabe 
and
 Kelsey,
 along
 with 
Steven
 (lead
guitar),
 Corey
 (bass),
 Markus 
(cello),
 and
 David (drums).
 The
 music
 is
 emotive,
 and
 evokes
 raw
 honesty
 and
 vulnerability,
 whilst
 capturing
 your
 attention 
through
 its
 unmistakable
 power
 and
 presence.
 The
 sounds
created
 by
 the
 booming 
and
 orchestral‐like
 6‐piece 
challenge
 the
 listener’s
 ear
 while
 still
 offering
 sweet
 melodies
 to
sing
 along
 with.

The
 family
 has
 a
 time‐line
 with
 oodles
 of
 notable
 events
 including
 their
 2008
 CD
 release
 party
 for
 the
 Embraces EP. 
The 
party
 was
 the
 talk of
 the
town
 with
 its
 the atrical
 décor,
 black 
tie 
dress 
code,
 and
 opening
 act
 of 
a 
string
 quartet. 
Excitement
 continued
 into
 the
 fall 
of
 ’09
 when
 the
Kopecky
Family’s
 performance
 took
 the
 Next 
Big
 Nashville Music
Festival
 by
 surprise.

In 
the
 spring 
of
 2010, 
it 
was 
time
 for
 the
 family
 to
 pack 
into 
their
 15‐passenger
 van
 (which
 was
 lovingly
 called
 “The
 War
 Wagon”)
 and
 head
 to
Austin, 
TX
 for
 their
 showcase
 at
 SXSW
 as
 one
 of
 ASCAP’s
 notable
 bands
 to
 watch. 
A 
follow
 up 
performance
 at
 Next 
Big
 Nashville
 in 
2010
 had
 A
 & 
R 
reps
 scurrying
 to 
put
 their
 Blackberrys
 away
 and
 listen.
 When
 in
 the
 studio
 with
 Partners
 in
 Crime,
 Russ
 Long
 and
 Chris
 Grainger
 (Wilco,
 Sixpence
 None
the
Richer),
the 
Kopecky
 clan
 produced 
The 
Disaster EP
 which
 was
 released
 in
 August 
2010.

The 
Kopeckys
 followed 
up
 SXSW
 with 
a 
mammoth 
CMJ
 2010, 
where 
they 
won 
over 
NPR‘s 
own
 Bob
 Boilen 
and
 were 
invited
 to
 play 
at
 the 
official
 Paste 
Magazine
 showcase
 before 
becoming
 the
 darlings
 of
 ‘Store‐Cute’
 and
 online 
retailer,
 Fred
 Flare. Straight
 back
 into
 the
 studio
 after 
CMJ,
 the 
band
 produced
 the
 follow
up
 to
 The
 Disaster, 
the
 perfect
 compliment
 entitled
 Of
 Epic
 Proportions.
 The
 EP 
is
 comprised
 of
 digital
 B‐Sides
 &
 rarities,
 featuring
 crowd 
favorite
 “Howlin’ 
at
 the
 Moon“, 
and
 a
remix 
of
 “God
 &
 Me”
 that
 explores
 the
 band’s
 varied
 and
 broad 
scope 
to
 produce
 amazing 
and
 diverse
 sounds.

Since 
then, 
the 
band 
released
 a
 limited
 edition
 split 7" vinyl 
with
 Seattle
 friends 
Ivan
 & 
Alyosha, 
and
 returned
 to 
Austin
 yet
 again
 for
 SXSW.
 The
 band 
played 
the 
in famous 
Paste 
Magazine showcase, 
Schubas
 Day 
Party,
 Next 
Big 
Nashville and 
performed 
for 
Austin’s
 KUT during 
the
 festival. 
And 
to
 keep
 themselves 
really 
busy 
in
 2011,
 the
 band
 attended
 Bonnaroo Music
 and
 Arts 
Festival 
for 
the
 first,
 notching
 up
 3
 amazing
 sets
 during 
the
 festival
 and
 amassing
 several
 new
 friends
 and
 fans
 along
 the
 way.
 
 And
 in
 other
 big
 2011
 news,
 the
 band
 signed
 on
 with 
one
 of
 the
 most 
respected
 companies 
in
 their 
field, 
Red 
Light
 Management.
 This
 relationship
is
 sure
 to
 help
 the
 Kopecky
 Family
 Band
 continue
 in
 their
 pursuits
 to
 make
 great
 music
 for
 their
 fans
 and
 themselves. 
Look 
out
 for
 the
 debut
 full
 length
 record
 early
 in
 2012.
