Dave Cope has dedicated decades of his life to crafting music that passionately merges power pop, folk, psychedelia, glam rock, and timeless songwriting into a sound that is undeniably his own. In this exclusive interview, Dave opens up about his latest musical endeavors, sharing the raw energy and emotion behind his newest releases. Amidst a rapidly changing music industry, Dave speaks candidly about the struggles and triumphs of staying true to his independent spirit. Listen to some of my favorites as I ask “What the hell is Dave Cope doing?”

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!
