New Single: “HOME” (feat. Lavinia Colepaugh)

Written for United by Song and premiered live at Moncton’s historic Capitol Theatre, “HOME” brings together the raw grit of Chris Colepaugh on vox and guitar, and the haunting depth of Lavinia Colepaugh’s cello.

Blending the dust-road spirit of years of touring with the edge of captivating cello, the track rides a line between Americana, southern rock, and modern folk-blues. It’s a song about belonging… about the pull of family, the weight of love, and the quiet power of coming back to where it all began.

Recorded for United by Song, “HOME” captures a rare moment of connection between father and daughter… two artists in different stages of their journeys, finding harmony in shared truth.

Louder is namelijk een liedje om op vol vermogen af te spelen. Zeker als je houdt van dingen als Joe Bonamassa, Delta Saints en Chris Stapleton. Wil je meer? Dan moet je steeds een maand wachten. Wat Chris zal vanaf heden elke maand een nieuwe single releasen. Prima plan, wij kijken er naar uit! Louder is a song meant to be played at full volume. Especially if you enjoy artists like Joe Bonamassa, The Delta Saints, and Chris Stapleton. Want more? Then you'll have to wait a month each time. Because from now on, Chris will release a new single every month. Great plan, we’re looking forward to it!

The instant Chris Colepaugh saw Steve Stills play Sweet Judy Blue Eyes in the film Woodstock, he knew what he wanted to do with his life. He wanted to be a guitarist like Steven Stills, who was still with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young at the time. In the era of guitar gods and showy axemen such as Jimmy Page and Hendrix, this admittedly, was an unusual aspiration but for Colepaugh, playing guitar isn’t about how fast you can play, but how beautiful the melody.
Denis ArmstrongThe Ottawa Sun
Chris Colepaugh is all about the melody. That’s not to say this son of Southern blues doesn’t rock, Just listen to what happens when he unleashes his doubleneck Gibson on such tunes as “Some Things Never Change” on his latest album “Missed A Page”. Guitar riffs don’t get much thicker than this.
Relix Magazine
(Live Review) “Adding to the overall package was the undeniable fact that the trio genuinely enjoyed sharing the stage with each other, all of which served to remind just how skilled Colepaugh is at writing timeless songs and just how seriously this group needs to be taken.
Canadian Beats
There may be a very simple reason for the influx of the Canadian music talent in the Untied States. Just ask fellow northern neighbor Chris Colepaugh , recently signed Gibson artist who, along with his band, Cosmic Crew are quickly establishing themselves among the ranks of successful Canadian acts to cross the border.

Vocalist/guitarist and his Cosmic Crew deliver old-fashioned rock crossed with alt-country. Sounds like Gov’t Mule meets the Jayhawks
Explore Music
Colepaugh is the full tilt package. His versality as a multi-instrumentalist gives him an ear for righteous melodies and inventive lyrics. Colepaugh commands a huge guitar sound on “Louder.” The songwriting is spot on, with band hits, varying sections feels and a track that builds over time. He is a powerhouse of driving rhythms and his single note choices in his guitar playing are dripping with blues sensibilities. As a vocalist he’s got that gritty whiskey dipped resonance that fits perfectly on “Louder.” A solid listen throughout with just the right amount of bluesy grit to stick to your bones. That’s the short of it!

I was blown away by the Canucks Chris Colepaugh and the Cosmic Crew as the gravelly soul in Colepaugh’s voice was a the helm of this band, which can lay down a wicked southern-fried boogie with a kick in the ass. The dude has a cool beard too.
Jambase.com / SXSW Showcase review
Colepaugh and his crew have been a part of the east coast scene since the early 90’s and are considered one of the hardest working outfits on the Canadian scene.
Centertainment Review
RnR hits hard. Heavy riff rock. Soaring guitar harmonies that would make any southern rock act envious.
Grid City Magazine
Colepaugh lays down the groove early and often throughout the record, delivering his acclaimed guitar work with a finesse typically associated with some of the greatest guitarists of his generation.

Moncton’s Chris Colepaugh and Lynn Daigle are the Cosmic Crew, and they transform this Eastern community into a rolling and rocking landscape where one swears they can actually see the Golden Gate Bridge off in the horizon.
EXCLAIM
Tight, high efficiency rock & rol
Jeff LibertyCBC
Nicely-paced and stripped-back in its approach, ‘My World’ (single) develops into an instant, old school rocker, with fans of My Morning Jacket sure to lap this up.
When The Horn Blows
Stripped down rock and roll.
Bread & Molasses
Fans of soulful southern rock should check out the new album from Chris Colepaugh and The Cosmic Crew, Missed a Page, which was released this past Tuesday. This is the eighth album for the band and they continue to produce masterful tracks that only seem to improve. Missed A Page is a smooth blend of classic rock and meaningful lyrics with a twist of southern twang that is only intensified by the use of the pedal steel guitar.
The Argosy
Colepaugh first caught my ear at SXSW a few years back with an impressive blast of blues-influenced rock. If you like muscular guitars and melodic rock riffs, , you’d be hard pressed to find a better song (Some Things Never Change ) , or heck, a better release, this year, Twangville.com
