Local fav Cody Copeland will perform at Grayt Grounds of Monet Monet in Grayton Beach this Thursday, July 24th from 6:30-8:30 PM.

Copeland’s acclaimed “alternative acoustic pop” sound will be accompanied by a small acoustic combo, and Grayt Grounds will feature food specials. Copeland’s Alt-Pop originals employ a wide span of instruments, ranging from thick slabs of vintage synthesizers, to both analog and electronic drums, glockenspiel, acoustic guitar, and occasionally accordion — all of which he plays, records and produces himself. These textural elements back a bright smoky vocal delivery, which Copeland says is influenced by a childhood favorite crooner, Roy Orbison.

In 2009, Copeland released his first album, Luster. Then, in 2011, after moving from his hometown of Freeport, Florida to Chicago, he released Happenings, an album heavily laced with glittery synthesizers, dance drums, and touching on new-wave pop sensibilities. Copeland’s most recent album, Two States, is the product of living in two polar opposite places during the writing and production of a single album: The lively streets of Chicago and the desolate dunes along the Gulf of Mexico.

This special performance is free and open to the public…. B.Y.O.B.

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience one of 30A’s most unique talents in a truly magical venue.
