Kopecky, Maryse Smith

On their new album, Drug for the Modern Age, Nashville’s Kopecky — formerly the Kopecky Family Band — address the incursion of technology into our daily lives and the ways that being connected through devides and social media actually create an interpersonal disconnect. Much like an addiction. Rendered through gorgeously crafted suites that have as much in common with electro pop as chamber music, the album cuts to the human heart of an increasingly virtual world. Kopecky play the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge in South Burlington on Wednesday, July 22. Local songwriter Maryse Smith opens.
