I'm not sure how I came across The Coppertone.  Likely just piqued my interest while adding the show to the calendar of upcoming shows.  It has been one of those musical discoveries where I just can't hear enough of the band.  I bounce from MySpace to Facebook, to their website to Grooveshark.  All to hear more.  Amanda Zelina aka The Coppertone has this voice that just draws me in.  She lists influences of Howlin' Wolf, ZZ Top, Junior Kimbrough, The Black Keys and others.  I hear it too.
Listening to Amanda/The Coppertone puts a smile on my face every time.
Give them a listen.
The Coppertone are playing Guelph this Thursday at The Ebar.  Come check them out.
I'm hoping to arrange an interview with Amanda that will be posted prior to her show.  So stay tuned!
