Knox Hamilton at Club Dada
Kick your weekend off with Knox Hamilton at Club Dada this Friday night. The rising alt-rock band features brothers Boots and Cobo Copeland, who've been making music together their entire lives, and their longtime buddy, guitarist Drew Buffington.
The Copeland brothers taught themselves to play the drums, guitar and bass at an early age, and filled their pastor father's church with light, airy music. Now as a trio, Hamilton Knox produces intentional songs that wrap listeners in a "warm embrace" while setting their souls free to "wander the cosmos."
When: Friday, August 3, 8 p.m.- Saturday, August 4, 6 a.m.
Where: Club Dada, 2720 Elm St.
Price: $14
