A well-respected guitarist since the mid-seventies in the Boulder, Colorado music scene, Bradley Kopp is a native Texan who grew up in a musical family in the Texas panhandle.
In the early eighties, Bradley came to Austin, Texas. Since then, Bradley has worked with artists such as Eliza Gilkyson, Iain Matthews, Will Sexton, Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Alejandro Escovedo, Sara Hickman, Jimmy LaFave, Charlie Robison and Kris McKay. Bradley has performed on Austin City Limits, The Texas Connection, TNN Onstage, Crook and Chase, and the Tonight Show. He has toured extensively in the U.S., Canada, Europe and Japan.
These days, Bradley has divides his time between his role as a musician with his career as an producer and engineer. Bradley has produced recordings for artists such as Iain Matthews , The Ginn Sisters, Edge City, Bill Passalaqua, Dirk Hamilton, Jeff Talmadge, Sue Young, and Jill Jones and the Lone Star Chorale.
Most of Bradley's work is done in his private production studio, Redboot Ranch. As Bradley says, "I like to work on quality projects. I'm not the kind of guy who works with you just for the money. I want to help artists get to the next level. That's what we're all trying to do."

- Louise King
"Bradley Kopp's acoustic guitar work was richly textured and emotional."
- Ellis Widner, Tulsa Tribune
WOW - love your sound, especially the song "Rachel" - great tune!!!! Any song with a B3 and beautiful vocals moves my world!!! Love your production and tonal choices too!
Hope you dig our sound too - we're nearing the end of our "Acoustic Week" where we've posted the acoustic based tunes from our catalog. Check out "It Was You" or "By My Side" - I think you'd enjoy those tunes!
Oh yah, thanks for the add - keep up the great work and I'm looking forward to hearing more from you!
Hey Bradley, hope you're having fun with the harmony vocals. I had such a great time in the studio!! Thanks for everything, especially the gourmet coffee ;-).
Just listening to "I Know a Goodbye.." and it's a good'un. It's got an up-tempo "Pancho and Lefty" progression working cool. You probably owe Guy Clark $1. Thanks for jumpin' through the MySpace hoops to get on my new music page.
