copeland james is saying a midwestern goodbye @copelandjames.bsky.social · Dec 14
i just launched a kickstarter for my second album “midwestern goodbye” reflecting on my hometown, leaving it, and how life is made up of chapters from childhood schemes to living on your own

8 more days of kickstarter, day 3 of countdown songs! dirty blonde started as a harp-accompanied piece in 2020, and it was finished in 2023 in a co-write with the amazing @patwhoisnice.bsky.social and purser :-)

A fully acoustic original song from @ellispiper.bsky.social - a song I thoroughly enjoyed whilst getting ready for work!

Send all the love and support to her and her friends, they performed amazingly and should definitely collaborate more in the future ♡

Just woke up to @ellispiper.bsky.social & friends singing. Hard to get up when it's cold, dark and rainy, but this really helps! 🥰

Give them a 👍🏻 on the YT vid for NPR's Tiny Desk Contest 2025. 😀

the downfall of a cute hairstyle: a story told in three parts
A photo of Copeland outside carrying a keytar with some of their hair tied up in little twisted knots A bathroom mirror selfie of Copeland’s untied hair twists still holding their shape Bathroom mirror selfie of Copeland’s hair, with the hair twists brushed out into a gigantic frizzy mess
