(melodic tune) (music switching back and forth) - Hello and welcome music lovers, DIY doers and degenerates alike.
Tonight we have quite a musical treat for you and I will be your host the spirit of the coop.
Now I'm sure you have lots of questions like, What is the coop?
Why am I listening to a spirit?
Am I dead?
And what does this have to do with music?
Now two of those seem like personal problems to me, but I'll fill you in on the rest.
It all started with it abandoned chicken coop.
Yeah, kinda like that one when one rowdy rocker turned this tiny space into a bumping recording studio for local and traveling bands who dared to face the madness.
It wasn't until a camera man stumbled upon the coop that the idea of coupe sessions was born.
With haste they assembled a rowdy group of camera folk with steady hands and a casual disposition to tinnitus.
It is with their true grit, their tenacity, their substance abuse, and support from their local radio station.
And their true love of music that these coupe heroes filmed a flock of live music Sessions.
Today is your lucky day.
Sit back crank those speakers as we revisit some of our favorite singles from coupe sessions.
