Marc Copely

After growing up in Worscester, MA's gritty Main South neighborhood, guitarist Marc Copely made a name for himself in the Boston music scene, eventually attending Berklee for a year before his money ran out. He continued to play until a car crash left him with severe head trauma, two fractures in his left arm, a broken left wrist, a dislocated shoulder, bruised ribs and a badly injured back. The accident was a wake-up call for him and as he fought to learn to play guitar again, he gained a new focus and determination that helped jump-start his music career. He went on tour with <a href="spotify:artist:30eFTKFHro3pDt3tiJwhtd">Mary Lou Lord</a> and made an album with Boston blues artist <a href="spotify:artist:2Kb8FV98BpZ1R5TIVteh4d">James Montgomery</a>, serving as a producer. After that he began work on his solo debut album, Limited Lifetime Guarantee. The album featured Dave Hull, from <a href="spotify:artist:1wxBizLxYol7aVhHX2TD7l">Pete Droge</a>'s band, on bass and <a href="spotify:artist:7EMrFlPVSDGQKOgtHKH28L">Josh Freese</a> on drums. It was released in June of 2002 on RCA. ~ Stacia Proefrock, Rovi
