About Us
Copperline is a Sydney-based collaboration between fellow travellers and troubadours Brad Christmas (vocals, guitar, piano), Richie Gosling (bass, guitar, vocals), Paul Handel (guitar, vocals) and Gareth Richards (drums, vocals). Rusty Fords and Weatherboards, produced by Shane Nicholson, may be the group’s debut album, but Copperline have more decades under their collective belts than they care to count plying their musical trade in low-lit bars, far-flung pubs, corrugated sheds, and even on the back of an occasional flat bed truck. During this long apprenticeship they have honed their unique brand of storytelling and song smithery, and are ready to share it with the world. 

With a reverence for the craft of song writing, Copperline doff their caps to Neil Young, Tom Waits, Lucinda Williams and Steve Earle, while charting a narrative and sonic course all of their own. There’s an unapologetic commitment to twang here, and one foot rooted in the delta blues. But there’s also a desire to explore the boundaries of song and the wild frontiers where genres and traditions intertwine. 
What We Bring
We bring many years of entertainment experience working together as covers, event, children and original band.

We bring an engaging and energetic live show full of award wining songs and the stories behind them.

And we bring a growing audience thanks to strong airplay on radio and television programs including ABC's Saturday Night Country, Kix Country, Foxtel's Country Music Channel as well as dozens of regional stations.

"The members of Sydney band Copperline have been playing in various bands dating back to the 90s and after ten years they’ve finally recorded their debut album together, one that certainly feels like a collective gathering of likeminded musicians and accomplished players."  more ...
