“Jazz/pop musician Roxi Copland is a petite powerhouse. Even when hidden behind a Baby Grand, her presence is huge thanks to a voluptuous voice and fierce piano skills.”

Roxi Copland performs throughout the US & Canada, entertaining with an engaging combination of original songs and innovative jazz/pop arrangements of everything from Ella to the Offspring. Copland’s unique genre is probably best summed up in the words of one particularly eloquent reviewer as “a possibly schizophrenic but absolutely brilliant concoction of jazz, pop and soul.” She’s recently been described as “Norah Jones with bite”. Beautifully blurring the lines between jazz & pop, this talented singer/songwriter/pianist won’t disappoint.
A native of the Pacific Northwest, Copland studied at Grinnell College in Iowa & built a following touring the midwest for several years before relocating to Vancouver, British Columbia in August of 2011. Since the move, Copland has rapidly set about making a name for herself on the West Coast as well. In addition to her own tours, Copland has opened for a number of prominent national and international acts, including most recently pop sensation Vanessa Carlton, jazz virtuoso Jason Lindner, the Mingus Dynasty Band, and the acapella powerhouse the Manhattan Transfer, among others.
Copland has released two EPs, a single and a collaborative live album to date: Streetwise (2008), Black Out the Blue (2010), Youthful Indiscretion (2010) and Max & Roxi: Live at the Temple Theater (2011). ‘Streetwise’ is a perfect representation of Copland’s virtuosity, with tracks ranging from a funky blues to a jazz/hip hop remix. In a review of the album, the Des Moines Register urged its readers: “listen to the mature timbre of her alto vocals, astute lyrics and sophisticated compositions”.
In Copland’s second album, you can hear the artist evolving towards a more nuanced combination of her two chosen genres – ‘Black Out the Blue’ leans farther towards pop, while managing to maintain intricate jazz sensibilities audible in the creative structure of Copland’s songs & her vocal phrasing.
Her 2010 sold-out single ‘Youthful Indiscretion’ was released on a limited-edition basis to help fundraise for Copland’s next studio album, a solo acoustic effort scheduled to be released in May of 2012.
