Acoustic Alley: Kopecky Family Band

Posted by William Haun on Thursday, August 11, 2011

I’ve shot quite a few of these Acoustic Alley performances now and this one is probably my favorite. I had never met Gabe and Kelsey of Kopecky Family Band before and was completely won over by their smiles, cheerfulness, and optimism. You’ll see the extent to which that is true in the outtake video. Most folks wouldn’t welcome an interruption by an inebriated man in the middle of their set, much less have sing-a-long with him. This “family” has heart!

The two songs they choose to play were perfect for the setting that is our alley way. Their whistles and harmonies bounced beautifully down the brick walls of the lane and made Macon’s own songbirds stop chirping for a few minutes to listen and enjoy the tunes.

If you like what you hear, (and I’m sure you will) the band has graciously allowed us to offer mp3 downloads of these two acoustic versions of the songs. You can grab them at the bottom of this post.
