What the hell is Dave Cope doing?

For the past 2 years or so Philly singer songwriter Dave Cope has been pumping out a mass of music. He’s explored every possible genre; from pop, rock, new wave, metal, reggae, folk, etc. Dave Cope and The Sass made my top ten list in 2023 with ‘Hidden From The World. He’s since experimented with a pile of singles, EPs, and full extended albums. There is so much to explore here, as he’s a musical chameleon. I will share with you just a few of my favorite tunes.

I was lucky enough to catch up with Dave to talk about his new material and upcoming album. Stay tuned, the interview will be posted soon!
