Florida indie rockers Copeland have announced their farewell tour kicking off March 3rd in North Carolina. I Can Make a Mess Like Nobody’s Business, Person L and Deas Vail will be joining them on their final trek.

“Doing a final headline tour was a priority for all of us says guitarist” Bryan Laurenson. “We didn’t want to end our journey without the opportunity to say “thank you” to all of our fans in person. We’re really excited about the lineup, and I think it’s going to be a fun and somewhat emotional experience.”

Copeland will be performing a retrospective set each night including songs from every album, calling back to the days when the songs were originally conceived. Playing each night like it is in fact their last show, the band will be sure to bring everything they’ve got to each performance.

Originally formed in 2002, the band has sold over 250,000 albums. Copeland released their label debut Beneath Medicine Tree via The Militia Group in 2003, and In Motion in 2005. In 2006, the band signed with Columbia Records to release Eat, Sleep, Repeat and followed up with Dressed Up & In Line, a 2007 album of B-sides and rarities. The band released You Are My Sunshine in 2008 and The Grey Man EP in 2009 both on Tooth and Nail Records. For more information, please visit www.thecopelandsite.com or www.myspace.com/copeland.
