Marc Copely

"...a working-class hero of stadium-sized potential." -Robert Doerschuk of AllMusicGuide.com
... In the last few years Marc Copely’s career in music has taken more turns than a gypsy caravan.
The Worcester, Massachusetts born Copely was born and bred on the blues. His professional career began playing shows with artists BB King, Buddy Guy, Dr John and many others as a member of different blues-based bands from the New England area. Most notably, in 2000, Marc ws a member of the James Montgomery Band, and went on to produce James’ WC Handy nominated “Bring It On Home” with guest James Cotton. Soon after, Marc signed a recording contract with RCA Records and before the ink was dry, moved to New York City.
In 2002, he released the critically acclaimed solo record “Limited Lifetime Guarantee” on RCA. Touring constantly in support of that record, Marc and band opened for bands such as Coldplay, Our Lady Peace, and The Tragically Hip as well as playing hometown shows in New York City. After receiving much radio play and time on music televsion with first single “Surprise”, the record went the way so many other records have gone being lost in the ever changing and clouded world of the record business.
After that, he decided to take matters into his own hands and built the Copelycabana, a recording studio first conceived for writing and experimenting with his own material. But, as life goes, things changed and Marc found himself writing and recording with many other New York City artists and writing songs with Carole King(“Breathe In To You”), Tracy Bonham(“Something Beautiful”) and Willy Porter(“If Love Were An Airplane”). In addition to writing and recoding, he became an in-demand guitar player and vocalist for many recording sessions and live shows. During that time Marc was called on to play guitar and sing with Hollywood Records Indian pop star Tina Sugandh and also produce, mix, sing and play guitar on the latest Jess Klein release for Ryko records,”Strawberry Lover.” Upon it’s release in April 2005,“Strawberry Lover” was the most-added record to Triple-A Radio its first week out, named one of theTop 10 Sexiest Records for 2005, and has received much critcal applause including a four star review in Mojo magazine.
Marc continues to produce and play with these and many other artists’ and is writing and recording a soon to be released second solo effort.
