Devin Cooper Happy Hour at the King Eddy
As the son of a motorcycle shop owner and custom car builder, Devin had ample opportunities to be creative working alongside his old man as he grew up. At seven years old, he began playing guitar and eventually traded in his tool kit for a music career.
Southern-Rock influenced country may seem contradictory in the Great White North, but that's where Devin Cooper hangs his wide-brimmed hat. Nominated for three Country Music Alberta Awards in 2021, including "Horizon Male Artist of the Year," Cooper's signature sound is identifiable by his thoughtful song writing and gritty rock 'n roll vocals. Cooper does country music his way and doesn't apologize for it.
Aside from music, Cooper has a long history of volunteering with Alberta Health Services. Starting at the young age of 7 years old, Cooper began volunteering at the Continuing Care Facility in Olds, AB where his mom works. Those volunteer days quickly turned into regular performances for the residents at the care facility, which made a lasting impact on him in his younger years. He was able to see first hand, the positive impact that music has on folks who are living with Alzheimer’s disease. In 2019, Cooper launched “Ride To Remember”, a charity event in support of the Alzheimer Society of Calgary.
