Dear friends,

We have come to an extremely difficult decision. It has come time for us to move on from Copeland and follow other paths in our lives. We are absolutely grateful to have been able to make music for as long as we have. In the last 9 years we've been able to see parts of the world that we never dreamt we would see. We have shared the stage and built friendships with immensely talented artists. We've been afforded the opportunity to make 4 records that we're extremely proud of. Most of all, we feel honored that people have cared so much for our band and for our art. We appreciate every listener who has allowed our music to be a part of their lives. We want to offer our deepest thanks to every individual who has supported us on this ride. It has profoundly impacted our lives.

To put your minds at ease, we assure you this is not a bitter break up. We all individually feel Copeland has run its course in our lives and it’s time for us to pursue what is next. We couldn’t end things without a proper goodbye, so we are planning a final farewell tour in the US this coming Spring, as well as one final jaunt around the world to some of our favorite countries. We are really excited about seeing you all one more time, and we hope it turns out to be the best Copeland tour ever.

It has been discussed and we are not ruling out the possibility of recording one more album sometime in the future. However, this spring tour will be our last.

From the bottom of hearts, thank you for all of your love and support.

Aaron, Bryan, Jon & Stephen

That's a bummer for me, since I do so love you guys. But you gotta do what you gotta do. Here's hoping to being able to make it on that final tour.

This is an absolute tragedy. I'm sorrry to hear all this music come to an end but I suppose all good things must, right? Thank you for all the music. Every album is a jewel. I look forward to hearing you guys one last time if I'm lucky enough to see you in Boston. All the best!

I just want to thank you guys so much for opening our eyes as young adults to the power of love and the sadness that it's abandoment can bring. You have truly blessed mine and many of my friends hearts. If you wanna see some good friends/fans, please come to Birmingham, Alabama for a final show. It would be so greatly appreciated and never forgotten. Maybe we could all go for a walk downtown. hah I'll miss you like an old love guys. God bless. -Kaleb

Copeland has always maintained a reputation as a band that should make most envious. I've enjoyed this band filling my ears and heart with great music. You all will be missed.

This a bittersweet announcement :/ Thank you for all the great music. I went to 5 shows and they were all fantastic. I will certainly go to the farewell tour. Thanks again for all the great music. In Motion was my favorite album and it means a lot to me. Thanks again!

Dude, dude, dudes. Let's be serious here.
Though I can't wait for a farewell tour, and to see your pretty faces...

Though I can understand the need to spread your wings, and create on your own.
I want you to know that what you've done, has impacted me in the most positive of ways.
I remember the night my mom passed away, listening to "Chin Up" and throughout all of her chemo, I listened to "Testing the Strong Ones." I remember. It all just helped. I just needed a way of understanding, or an outlet, something that assured me that I won't be alone, that others have experienced this loss as well.

You have presented numerous works of art. I would call them magical. Stay true to yourselves, no matter what you find yourselves into.

So, I just wanted to thank you. We've had great times in the Detroit area, and I wish you luck on future journeys.

Thanks for everything.

<3

Oh man, this is the saddest news ever! :( But you guys are right, 
if you feel it's time for something new, don't let anything
stand in your way!
I hope each of you go far! And live your lives to the absolute fullest.
:) I sure hope you make it to denver in the spring! 

Take care guys! 

<3 Shay.

I can hardly even begin to explain how this makes me feel, guys. You have to come to Europe. You've been my absolute favorite band since Beneath Medicine Tree but I still haven't been able to see you live. In the best of worlds, you'd come and play here in Sweden where I live (and should you ever consider doing so, I'd be happy to help you out with anything), but in fact I'd even be willing to travel to Germany or the UK if necessary. Just please come to Europe.

This is extremely sad news. Seriously ruined my day! This band has had a big impact in my life and how I view musicianship as a whole. They inspired me to write my own music and keep going even in the bad times. They asked me important questions like why I got caught in the fire and taught me that I am a miracle through and through. Thank you Aaron Marsh and Copeland for teaching me things I couldn't have been taught from anyone else. I will truly miss your beautiful collaborations.

Man, I'm gonna miss you guys. It's ironic, because I just bought one of your ringtones yesterday. I think myself amongst others hope that there is much more music on its way from each of you guys. Good luck.
