A new and upcoming band is making its way to St. Louis this month. “Knox Hamilton” will be performing at The Demo on Thursday, Sept. 25. The band is currently on tour promoting their debut album set to release at the end of the year. Based in Little Rock, Ark. the band is composed of four members: Boots Copeland (vocals), 27, Cobo Copeland (drums), 26, Brad Pierce (keys), 31 and Drew Buffington (bass), 29.
The band formed about a year ago, according to lead singer, Boots Copeland. Boots and Cobo are brothers and have been playing together since they were kids.
They met Pierce and Buffington shortly after moving to Arkansas from Texas, and the band started playing seriously together about a year ago.
The tour kicked off on Sept. 9. They will be touring to 30+ cites across the country.
As far as how they categorize their sound; the older Copeland specified it as pop- alternative. Copeland identified a song from their newest album, “Rightfully So”, as their favorite to perform in front of crowds. However, they know most people are familiar with their debut single, “Work It Out.”
“It’s always great to get a good reaction from the crowd,” Copeland said.
When they are not traveling the country playing their music, the band members each relax in their own way. Buffington has a farm just outside of Little Rock; Cobo Copeland enjoys playing and watching sports; and Pierce is the movie buff of the group, according to Copeland he worked as a film teacher before joining Knox Hamilton.
Their debut single “Work it Out” is available for purchase on iTunes.
The Demo is located in the St. Louis Grove neighborhood at 4191 Manchester Ave.
