Copeland Announcement, Please Read
Dear friends,

We have come to an extremely difficult decision. It has come time for us to move on from Copeland and follow other paths in our lives. We are absolutely grateful to have been able to make music for as long as we have. In the last 9 years we've been able to see parts of the world that we never dreamt we would see. We have shared the stage and built friendships with immensely talented artists. We've been afforded the opportunity to make 4 records that we're extremely proud of. Most of all, we feel honored that people have cared so much for our band and for our art. We appreciate every listener who has allowed our music to be a part of their lives. We want to offer our deepest thanks to every individual who has supported us on this ride. It has profoundly impacted our lives.

To put your minds at ease, we assure you this is not a bitter break up. We all individually feel Copeland has run its course in our lives and it’s time for us to pursue what is next. We couldn’t end things without a proper goodbye, so we are planning a final farewell tour in the US this coming Spring, as well as one final jaunt around the world to some of our favorite countries. We are really excited about seeing you all one more time, and we hope it turns out to be the best Copeland tour ever.

It has been discussed and we are not ruling out the possibility of recording one more album sometime in the future. However, this spring tour will be our last.

From the bottom of hearts, thank you for all of your love and support.

Aaron, Bryan, Jon & Stephen

Strangely, I knew what the news was before I even clicked on the topic. I'm glad we'll be (possibly) getting another album. This being their last tour is OK with me; they were always a better studio band than a live band.

That's too bad.  By and large, I liked their music, although I do agree with murlough's assessment that they are a better studio band than live band.  I'm still glad I got a chance to see them this past Spring.

Sad news, but not unexpected.  All 4 of their albums were very enjoyable for me, but the most recent, imo, was the first sign of the creative well beginning to run dry.

I've listened to all of their albums and never really understood the big interest in them but they had moments of greatness.

I really liked that one. It seemed boring at first, but once I dug into it, it just wouldn't let me go.
