"I was born Gregory Andre Copeland in Portsmouth, Virginia (USA). While growing up I was and still heavily influenced by artists such as James Brown, Wilson Pickett, Robert Johnson, Howlin´Wolf and many others. These influences have helped me to develop my own unique singing style. You can describe my singing style as Smooth, Slick and Down South Dirty. I am Funk, Soul and a Bluesman through and through".
Greg has collaborated with and performed with artists such as Blues Legend "Guitar Crusher,“ internationally acclaimed Roots, Folk and Blues Singer/Songwriter Big Daddy Wilson and many others. He has been for many years the lead singer and leader of the Greg Copeland Band as well as being leader of the acoustic blues duo "Deep Down South." He has released 6 critically acclaimed Albums and has toured throughout the world.
"My love for the blues started at an early age, like many others my gateway into the Blues was through Stevie Ray Vaughan. Through Stevie I discovered Buddy Guy, Magic Sam, B.B.King, Jimmy Dawkins, Luther Allison, Junior Wells....
After seeing Buddy Guy perform live I knew I had to create a Blues band of my own".
Chris played for many years in the Mudcats Blues Trio, who won an award for best "Live Band" and critical acclaim for their release of 3 studio Albums. They toured extensively around Europe which is where Chris first met Greg at a Blues Festival in Belgium.
Deep in the Blood was the Duo's debut release in 2019. It featured guests Greg Guy (Buddy Guy's Son) and Shirley King (B.B King's Daughter).
