Copperfox aren’t wild. They’re honest, and they open up slow. Their rebellion lies in the haunt of serious, gentle melodies and quiet adoration. Welcome to their world of two, where soft country elegance meets a fondness that is palpable, honey deep. Love is here; take a listen.
The hush-hush project of a petite, indelible duo, Copperfox consists of two lovers full up on heart and soul. Lisa Garcia and Rory Mohon first began to tickle their musical future together on the island of Maui back in 2008, where jobless, they sought comfort in the separate realms of their own creative outlets – Lisa with her etchings and Rory with his guitar. That is until Rory needed a voice.
Once back on the mainland, it took the Washington-Oregon border between them, plus some good strong drinks and a lonesome, heartsick home, for Lisa to come to terms with the fact that she was that voice. Since then, a band of believers was formed, and a record made. Songs off their soft-hearted, meticulously crafted EP, From the Den, began trickling out of their love nest in Spring 2011. And like the sly creature that is the tiniest of canines, Copperfox are finally ready to play outside. See them perform live, for the very first time, at the Portland Bazaar on Sunday, December 11th at 4pm. – Morgan Brothers
