Beetsblog

beetsblog, the moniker of Taggie Coppins’s songwritings and broader musical collective, was initially conceptualized as a “kids show for adults’. Starting by writing song about community gardens and having your bed in the kitchen, soon she turned toward more psychedelic meditations on maintaining honest self communication, the possibly of a boundless capacity to hold love, and the possibility that multiple people could ever have a shared experience, among other things too difficult to express with words only.

The music grows stranger, more harmonically rich and melodically flexible, but the song’s disembodied pov still shares eyes with the clueless kid – one who has no idea (or some completely made up idea) of what’s going on and doesn’t care to. Curiosity, confusion, and wonder are the song’s navigators.

As a songwriter, bandleader, and diy producer, Taggie has recorded countless works and has brought 100s of them to the stage with ensembles ranging from 1-8 people. Beetsblog has shared bills with acts such as Kimya Dawson, Little Wings, Ruth Garbus, @, Lily Konigsberg, Babehoven, Alice Cohen, Frank Hurricane, Austyn Wohlers, Patrick Shiroshi, Erica Dawn Lyle, Chris Weisman, and countless other contemporary luminaries.

You can catch her playing along the east coast this summer on tour with Eliza Niemi and Hemlock.
