Coast 2 Coast Closeup – Devin Cooper

As the son of a motorcycle shop owner and custom car builder, Devin Cooper’s childhood was filled with opportunities to be creative. Upon exchanging his toolkit for a guitar, Cooper found an unmistakable niche, reimagining the soul of Southern Rock and down home country. The result is a genre-bending, driven young artist with a world of possibilities.

With the soul of Johnny Cash and the chops of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Devin Cooper’s thoughtful songwriting and thundering live show will leave audiences wanting more. His perfected vocal sneer is full of attitude and delivers on the promise. Off stage, Cooper’s energy is unfiltered positivity and humility – an incredible asset for any musician with ambition.

His debut single, “Nothing On You”, released in April 2018, received numerous local accolades. Shortly thereafter, he was nominated for Male Artist and Songwriter of the Year (YYC Music Awards); Best Song, Best Video, and Fans Choice (Alberta Country Music Awards), and was the winner of Artist of the Year (Red Deer Entertainment Awards).

2020 began with a sold out headlining slot in Calgary at the King Eddy. Since 2018, Cooper has performed alongside some of North America’s top talent including Aaron Pritchett, Gord Bamford, and Lou Gramm of Foreigner.
“He’s only 22 years old, and he’s the real deal.” – says Aaron Pritchett.
