Striking Copper at Front Porch Fest

With Front Porch Fest’s eclectic mix of music it was not surprising to find the eclectic band Striking Copper on the bill this past Labor day weekend.  I got to chat with the sisters, Allie and Jacquie after their set during the festival.  Enjoy the audio via podcast or check out the great video from Brad Davis at VisionRev- https://youtu.be/NH1G4FJy6aI

Raised by musically enlightened and ever encouraging parents, Striking Copper’s cradle was rocked by the hands of legends. The band believes music is a way in which to tell a story. It’s not just what the story is about, but it’s how you present it, and how you preserve it. Striking Copper united in hopes to combine their inspirations and original ideas to create a new sound, something they feel helps bridge the gap between Rock, Folk, and Americana.

Led by powerhouse redheaded twin sisters Allie and Jacquie Lee, Striking Copper uses haunting vocal arrangements, accompanied with full volume instruments, delivering a lasting, melodic sound. The band is rounded out with Matthew Donnelly (vocals, rhythm guitar), Daniel Bennett (lead guitar),  and Frank Cacciutto (drums). Based out of Wilmington, NC, Striking Copper’s music draws from humanity, embodies strength in vulnerability and authors homage to home.
