The Rising Star Showcase has become legendary with WQMX listeners. Lucky listeners win their way in to the WQMX Concert Room to get a nice dinner and a show by one of the new stars in Nashville. Tuesday night, we were lucky enough to welcome Big Machine recording artists, Kate and Kacey Coppola to our stage.
Kate and Kacey are identical twins (9 minutes apart, I asked) who have come to Nashville via Denver to make their mark in the music world. During their well paced 40 minute set, we got to see the great versatility they bring to the table. With Kate on guitar, and Kacey on the occasional harmonica, the twins harmonized beautifully through song after song. The vast majority skillfully written by the duo themselves. A nice mix of up tempo-sassy numbers, and a beautiful ballad or two, it became clear quickly they have been singing together a long time.
I think it must be the DNA thing. But for some reason, hearing siblings harmonize together is a little more special than those that are not. It's a treat to hear! And especially for identical twins. Kate and Kacey's voiced blended together perfectly song after song as if one voice, but all the while knowing it was actually two. Hard to explain, hard to do. And with some of the gentler love songs and ballads, their harmony bordered on the angelic. It was wonderful to listen to.
It was also wonderful to see. Twins are always intriguing to watch. Most have a special kind of bond that we who are not can't fully understand. But Kate and Kacey's chemistry on stage was palpable, while powerfully emulating a nice sense of positivity. Complete with big, engaging smiles, a wonderful sense of humor and an obvious love for what they are doing. The audience loved it. I think we as audience members like to see people on stage that really like being there. That's Kate and Kacey. Great to see.
Off stage, down to earth nice people that made everyone feel relaxed and at ease. They are clearly comfortable in their own skin, and fans can sense that right from the start. Kate and Kacey are really nice, and talented people that you pull for to really make it big, in a business that can be tough.
I'm rooting for Kate and Kacey Coppola.
