THE COPPER CHILDREN (Denver, CO)
https://www.thecopperchildren.com/
The Copper Children are a unique blend of styles that span from the choral sounds of American gospel music to the psychedelic acid jam fueled sounds of the 60s. Like a roller coaster, their “Psychedelic Gospel” experience leaves audiences feeling transported to the rail-yards of freedom. Live they take you into your heart space, conjuring the spirit of unity, freedom, silliness, and love, with harmonies and rhythms that remind us of our shared humanity.
The Copper Children is driven by rhythm and good vibration. Each member came together with the intention of spreading love of the purest form as far as possible. Formed in July of 2015, the Copper Children released their first album as a group in June of 2016 called “What We Are”. It is centered around the bonding of the members and their sharing in the blessing that was the life of Caleb Jarosh, Elijah’s brother, whom the album is dedicated with love. It is the foundation of the band’s journey into their own sound.
Their third album “Speaking in Spirits” is a nine-track album written by The Copper Children and was released on April 19, 2019. The songs vary in style, genre and mood, ranging from heart-wrenching introspective to uptempo, four-on-the-floor jams. The album contents had been the soundtrack for the band’s life during those past few years and much of what they sang about already transpired in a strange and beautiful way. The album consists of all analog recordings, bringing a warmth and nostalgia that is integral to the experience of Speaking In Spirits.
Released on 4/23/22, Their fourth album, “Strange Illusion” explores thumping singalongs reminiscent of the swampy south and suites within songs that adventure into other landscapes of sound only to return you back to the beginning. The album was recorded by Matt Tanner (Speaking In Spirits) and mastered by Brent Somermeyer (Speaking in Spritis) at Catadawn Mastering Studios in Denver, CO throughout 2019 and wasn’t completed being mixed and mastered until 2021. During this time the world experienced a pandemic and the songs, which were written well in advance, began to take on even more meaning in their story.
Coming in 2024,their fifth album is sure to turn heads. Welcome to the Weirdo Rodeo!

“The act’s unusual combination of slightly unpredictable rhythms, soulful harmonies, exuberant live performances and elements of groove and psychedelia make for a pure Colorado music experience.” Ben Wiese – Westword.com
“…the boys are so invested in their particular schtick, they do it so damn well that you’d almost believe they really did slip through a wormhole from the acid haze of ’69 into the cool mountain air of Denver… ” – Mike Gibson – Scruffington Post
