Local artist of the week Coopertheband (all one word) is a bramily (band/friends/family) composed of six massive music nerds with minds to rhyme and twelve hot feet. Centered in Jackson, TN, the band has found success nationally, featured on networks like HBO, ESPN and TruTV as well as the hit show “Without a Trace.” Coopertheband is also hugely plugged into the local music scene and often finds itself on podcasts, regional television shows and the occasional old-fashioned newspaper article. Listen to the single “Rebels” off their forthcoming LP Kingdoms all week long on Lightning 100. Don’t miss their free performance this Friday at Soulshine Pizza Factory!
