"Mary Coppin's music is an elixir for the soul. With her smart lyrics about love and loss, and a never ending eye for irony, Coppin's music moves you to tears and reflection. Buy her CD!!!!"
Helen Slater, actress/singer/songwriter.
"Mary Coppin's voice has a magical quality, somewhere between Natalie Merchant and The Kinleys that cuts through the ordinary and can literally hush a noisy club. Her Pop/rock/folk songs take you on a journey from evocative questions to joyful answers"
Chris Boardman, film composer, Mel Gibson's "Payback".
Buy "I Lied" by Jenna von Oy at iTunes! We wrote it together on The Big Island, sitting at my place on Alii Dr, looking out at the ocean and up mauka. Two beautiful, silly days....
