Bruised Pear Records

2005-07-09T13:29:00.000-07:00

My name is Joe Kopsick. I am 19 years old and I am an amateur musician. I have been doing home recordings on my computer with the help of Cakewalk HomeStudio XL 2004 since November 2003.
Bruised Pear Records is my illegitimate record label, and this website will feature track listings of all of Bruised Pear Records' releases.
I started this website on July 9th, 2005. I put out a demo CD on May 31st, 2004, a bluegrass tribute CD on May 18th, 2005, a psychedelic rock concept album on July 29th, 2005, and I am planning to release an original bluegrass album soon. The purpose of this website is to spread my music around for free to people interested in it who are too far away to have me give them hard copies of the CDs.
All of the following posts will be about the BPR releases. If you want the album, e-mail me and I will send the mp3s to you.
