Michael Koppy Sings A Sweet, Homey Tune
In an ever-growing industry of synthetic style music and catchy pop songs that will continue to dominate the charts, it’s nice to take a step back and enjoy some simpler styles now and again. Charles and Myrtle’s Coffeehouse regularly pulls in unique talent from all corners of the world, and this week’s artist is no exception.
Hailing from the Deep South comes Michael Koppy, a man of many talents who found his love of music at age 17. Koppy’s hilariously detailed biography on his website will give you a bit of insight into his life, but it’s this music that’ll hold on to you, with a low and slow country voice, deep guitar strings plucking alongside the sweetest pitched violins for a warm, folksy feeling. His site features a whole host of his music for preview or purchase.
Interestingly enough, Koppy did not perform publically for 25 years due to involvement with producing and directing concerts, stage musicals, and other artistic outlets, but a chance encounter at a hotel in San Francisco in 2001 put him back on stage.
It’ll be a treat to hear this Southern gentleman strumming out a homey tune, so mark your calendars for Charles and Myrtle’s this Saturday
