Raw Artist Showcase
January 13, 2020	– By Royal Kent
COPUS is excited to join the community of RAW Artists with a showcase on January 29, 2020 at 1015 Folsom in San Francisco, CA. What is 'RAW Artists' - you ask. A very well oiled production company who are producing talent showcases in over 70 cities around the globe. Here is a quote from their website, RAWartists.com:
"RAW spotlights independent talent in visual art, film, fashion & accessories design, music, performance art, beauty, crafts, tech, and photography.
RAW is a fun and alternative way for creatives to showcase both to their local community and the world at large. We are not your average art show. We are loud, colorful, creative, and all about our artists. We are RAW."

11 to 75: A Bird's Eye View of the GRAMMY Awards
May 30, 2018	– By Wendy Loomis
What is it like to go to the GRAMMY Awards? Here are some reflections on the experience.
Evolution Of A Hit
July 29, 2017	– By Wendy Loomis
January 2017, San Francisco. After the election I felt the great anger and ensuing malaise that surrounded folks in the Bay Area - like the fog itself. Not one to stay depressed too long, I sat down at my keyboard and began to play. From the power of the Most High came a complete song. Sometimes it comes in small bits that need to be developed. And sometimes – like this time – it comes as one complete unit: song structure, chorus lyrics and melody, rhythms, transitions, ending.

Workers Of The World
April 20, 2010	– By Copus Music
SATURDAY, MAY 1st – 8:00pm - ROOTS & CULTURE MAY DAY EVENT Shelton Studio, Pier 26 @ The Embarcadero, SF In many countries, May 1st is known as International Workers' Day consisting of political demonstrations and celebrations recognizing the economic and social achievements of workers. In Kenya, for example, people celebrate Labour Day which had its roots in the '8-hour day movement' advocating 8 hours of work, 8 hours of relaxation, and 8 hours of rest. The earliest known May Day gatherings were found in many northern European countries with pagan festivals such as Walpurgis Night (named after the female Saint Walpurga) where bonfires, feasting, dancing, and music drove away the memories of a long winter. Here in modern day San Francisco, Copus Music and Special Guests have joined up to create a May Day event that promises to shake loose all the dampness from the wintry rain and economic struggles – lifting the spirits of the people in a way only music, dancing, poetry at a cool private location can do! COPUS has added the dynamic percussion playing of Omar to round out the power ensemble, so come check out the new sound and video additions. Special guests include Shelton Studio actors and poet Timothy Trygg will also perform. The event will be hosted by Matt Shelton. http://www.sheltonstudiossf.com http://www.copusmusic.com http://www.youtube.com/copusmultimedia http://www.myspace.com/copusmusic http://www.copuscatalog.com

March 11, 2010	– By Copus Music
It's working, (your name). Every day you're getting closer! Everything you've ever wanted is being pressed toward you. Everything is clicking. Don't let the illusions trick you. Don't let the events of today dampen your spirits. Things couldn't be any better than they now are. You couldn't have more reasons to celebrate. Now! Do it! The hardest work is done! Just show up, be present, open every door and let events unfold. Life is your stage. This is your parade. Together we can do anything. theuniverse@tut.com
Its to the journey we give everything. The stops along the way, the roads in between. Praises be we are not fooled by the suffering. Its to the journey we give everything.
Some new energy in the Copus ranks for 2010. We've been busily bringing a dynamic percussion man into the fold...by the name of Omar. Poet Royal Kent and Omar go back a ways, so we're looking forward to showcasing their 'Last Poets' type engery and flow for you all. We aim to spring forth this April, live & direct. Question: What is between heaven and earth? Answer: Copus Music ~ The Missing Link ~ Spoken Word with Music
