Singer
Copper Kelly is a country musician and podcast host from Wexford, Ireland.
He began playing guitar from a young age, joining many different types of bands throughout the years including the pub band Free Reign and the Indie Rock band Kings In Disguise.
Copper began writing country music when, in 2017, he met the songwriter Dympna Walsh who handed him some lyrics. He composed and recorded what came to be “Don’t Steal This Moment”. The single received a lot of airplay on Irish radio stations. The success of this single inspired Copper to write and record his own album Worthwhile Waste of Time which was released independently released February 2019
Having studied sound engineering in college, Copper performed all instruments, recorded and produced the album himself taking inspiration from outlaw country musicians such as Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Hank Williams and Lynyrd Skynyrd while also retaining the sound of his Irish roots.
