Rethink Showcase: The Lumineers / Kopecky Family Band

Impact Weekend, part of the Rethink Music conference, will take place on the evenings of Friday, April 20 and Saturday, April 21, when Boston will be a music epicenter of band showcases. Rethink Music has partnered with us to provide an intimate showcase of the Lumineers and Kopecky Family Band. Mark your calendars—this is going to be a great show. 

The Lumineers sound took shape in Denver as an amalgam of heart-swelling stomp-and-clap acoustic rock, classic pop, and front-porch folk. The roots revival of the last few years has primed listeners for a new generation of rustic, heart-on-the-sleeve music, the kind that nods to tradition while setting off into uncharted territory. The Lumineers walk that line with an unerring gift for timeless melodies and soul-stirring lyrics. It will all be on display soon, on the band's first full-length album, due in March. Born out of sorrow, powered by passion, ripened by hard work, the Lumineers have found their sound when the world needs it most.

The Kopecky Family Band beats with the same heart and writes in the same blood, like all families. The family began creating music together in Nashville, Tennessee in the fall of 2007. What began as late-night talks about life and dreams gradually flowed into eccentric and beautiful music that has led to numerous tours, including adventures to CMJ, SXSW, and Bonnaroo; three EP releases; and friendships across the country. Back again in the studio, the band is writing and recording new tracks, so ready yourself for a new release later in the year. Anyone who encounters the Kopeckys will testify there is never a dull moment in this family of six.
