Gothic Theatre
Mark Copely
Marc Copely has already beaten the odds several times. With the release of Limited Lifetime Guarantee, he just may do it again. He’s a survivor, who’s learned how to chase down his dreams and make them happen. His album tells the stories of his life, in songs with vivid lyrics that ride escalating melodies into fist-pumping choruses. Copely delivers this material with slashing guitar lines and a raw, gutsy voice. It’s a sound you won’t forget: classic yet contemporary, timely and timeless. Its roots reach back to Main South, where Copely spent his weekdays as a kid getting his knuckles rapped in Catholic school, his weekends hanging with his buddies, and his nights at home, listening to his father and his uncles sing. “My dad is a trained opera singer,” he remembers. “He still has a barbershop quartet. There were always vocal albums around the house: a lot of Beach Boys, Aretha Franklin, harmony-driven stuff.”
