TONY “G” COPELAND “Winter Wonderland”
Tony Copeland’s middle name is not literally “Guitar,” and his middle initial isn’t “G,” but they’ve been part of his personal and musical identity since his parents bought him his first axe way back at age one. Since then, the guitar’s been the lifeline, melodic through-line and driving force behind a wild, multi- faceted adventure that’s taken him from gospel and pop to reggae and R&B – and on to his current emergence as an acclaimed contemporary jazz artist.
Tony’s fresh new single “Winter Wonderland” finds him celebrating the holiday with a playfully grooving hybrid style that evolves from laid back, rhythmic soulful smooth jazz flow into more improvisational traditional jazz.
The dynamic, envelope pushing track was produced, engineered, mixed and arranged by guitarist’s longtime collaborator Cory James (who has worked with everyone from Usher to Angela Winbush to saxophonist Dean James), while Tony contributed additional guitar production, writing, mixing and engineering. Showcasing a powerful synergy between them, Cory performs a lively and whimsical “make the season bright” piano solo to complement Tony’s sparkling improvisations in the second half of the track. Also featuring background vocals by Carol Williams, “Winter Wonderland” is the perfect introduction to the guitarist’s powerful versatility as a musician and artist.
The holiday track lays a compelling foundation for this next phase of Tony’s career as an artist. Over the years, Frankie Beverly has been an important mentor for the guitarist, and the guitarist’s upcoming single – due early in 2020 – is his self-produced re-imagined vocal version of Maze’s “We Are One.” Cory is producing another 2020 release, the original “Classic Moments.”
Tony has had a bit of success in the smooth jazz genre before, starting with his self-produced album Panoramic View in 2010 and his 2015 follow-up Waterfalls. For Waterfalls, the guitarist teamed up in the studio with Grammy Award winner Felton Pilate, a onetime member of funk/R&B band Con Funk Shun who has produced major albums for everyone from jazz great Stanley Clarke to rapper MC Hammer. Tony and Pilate collaborated on the R&B vocal track “I Just Want to Let You Know,” featuring Pilate’s production, writing and arranging and Tony’s lyrics, lead vocals and guitar.
While enrolled as an audio engineering student at Houston Community College, he earned an appearance at Springboard South and SXSW by winning a contest as the school’s best live performer. He earned the praise of judge Matthew Knowles (famed music industry executive and father of Beyonce), who told the audience, “This is what a performer should look like!” Not far from his hometown of Portsmouth, VA, Tony also performed the Hampton Jazz Festival in 2018 on a bill with Clarke, Norman Brown (who some compare his sound to), War, Pieces of a Dream, Regina Belle and Jeffrey Osborne.
Having earned his audio engineering degree from Houston Community College, the us army veteran is currently enrolled at the University of Houston Downtown, where he is pursuing a BAAS degree in Safety Management.

TONY “G” COPELAND “We Are One” 
Tony Copeland’s middle name is not literally “Guitar,” and his middle initial isn’t “G,” but they’ve been part of his personal and musical identity since his parents bought him his first axe way back at age one. Since then, the guitar’s been the lifeline, melodic through-line and driving force behind a wild, multi-faceted adventure that’s taken him from gospel and pop to reggae and R&B – and on to his current emergence as an acclaimed contemporary jazz artist. 

Tony’s fresh new single “We Are One” finds him reminiscing about how he felt when he heard the Maze featuring Frankie Release in 1983. He remembers driving in his car listening to the local radio station when all of a sudden, the song hits…Bam, Bam, Bam as it immediately mellows down to a smooth, sweet, soulful sound. It sounded so good that Copeland vowed that he would record his own version with much respect to Maze featuring Frankie Beverly. Here it is some thirty-seven years later…here it is.

The recent release of his holiday track “Winter Wonderland by Tony G Copeland” lays a compelling foundation for this next phase of Tony’s career as an artist. Over the years, Frankie Beverly has been an important mentor for the guitarist, and the guitarist’s upcoming single – due early in 2020 – is his re-imagined and self-produced vocal version of Maze’s “We Are One.” 

Tony has had a bit of success in the smooth jazz genre before, starting with his self-produced album Panoramic View in 2010 and his 2015 follow-up Waterfalls. For Waterfalls, the guitarist teamed up in the studio with Grammy Award winner Felton Pilate, a onetime member of funk/ R&B band Con Funk Shun who has produced major albums for everyone from jazz great Stanley Clarke to rapper MC Hammer. Tony and Pilate collaborated on the R&B vocal track “I Just Want to Let You Know,” featuring Pilate’s production, writing and arranging and Tony’s lyrics, lead vocals and guitar. 

The third oldest of eight siblings, Tony grew up going to church three or four times a week, cutting his teeth on gospel music, learning to play lead guitar, bass guitar and drums after his father brought a lead guitar, Fender Jazz bass, flip-top ampeg amp and a microphone home one day. Tony’s skills were so proficient by age six that he toured on and off on Bass for several years with the group “Peerless Four” and the “Spiritual Wonders”. Later, he joined his junior high school band, where he taught himself French horn and piano. Outside of church and school, here were several childhood musician friends and a local bands (Third World) and (Lock Stock and Barrel featuring his cousin Jett Wright) that inspired his own early journey as a musician. 

“I’m a guy who has stuck to his dream. I wrote it down and made a plan and I’m happy to tell people in this industry that no matter the odds, you’ll make it if you keep going, he adds”. “One time I asked Bassist Robin Duhe from Maze what I should do as far a being a musician was concerned and he said, ‘Get somewhere in the music industry and stay there.’ As tough as it is to break into the music industry, I’m here to stay with no intention of giving up.”
