The record has garnered over a half-dozen  songwriting accolades, and three of its songs recently  took the top three slots at Texas Independent Radio (Roots Music  Report's 'Top 50 Texas songs', July 2023). Copland has performed at over a thousand events across the US, Canada, and Europe, and opened for a  number of prominent national and international acts, including  Esperanza Spalding, Vanessa Carlton, the Mingus Dynasty Band, the  Manhattan Transfer,  Brennen Leigh, Marcia Ball, and Ray Benson (Asleep at the Wheel).
