The Copa Kings were formed in Austin, Texas, out of a desire to breathe new life into some of the great jazz standards of the 1930s, 40s and 50s. With great reverence, the band brings a unique passion, artistry and flair to the jazz music of this period. Led by vocalist Billy Murphy, The Copa Kings pay homage to some of our countrys greatest jazz songwriters and performers such as Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bobby Darin, Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald. Members of the ensemble have played with locally and nationally known acts, including The Atlantics, The Jazz Pharaohs, Merchants of Venus, The Monster Big Band, the Magnificent 7 and The Blackbird Trio.
