Without a doubt, Lakeland-born Copeland is a seminal, and still essential, band for anyone interested in the Central Florida indie-rock scene.

From its heart-hitting debut Beneath Medicine Tree to its brand new album, Revolving Doors, which features orchestral re-imaginations of some of the bands favorite songs, the Copeland—which is playing Orpheum in Tampa on Saturday, Nov. 12—possesses a deep discography that’s been the soundtrack to many nights spent alone in the Florida night heat.

If you missed Copeland performing with a symphony orchestra in 2018, this show at the new Tampa Orpheum is a good chance to reconnect with the revered Florida outfit.
