About this Event
Live at the Sunset Lounge: Copeland Davis with Guest Vocalist Avery Sommers
Copeland Davis discovered his love of piano at age seven, launching a journey that blended gospel roots, classical training, and jazz innovation into his signature style. A Florida Atlantic University graduate and tireless student of music, Copeland is known for dazzling technique and expressive versatility — shifting effortlessly from powerful, fast-paced runs to soft, orchestral-style phrasing.
He has appeared on The Tonight Show, Good Morning America, and PBS, and was inducted into both the Las Vegas Entertainers Hall of Fame and the International Who’s Who in Music. Copeland has shared stages with Ramsey Lewis, Herbie Mann, Aretha Franklin, and more. A former Artist-in-Residence with the Florida Symphonic Pops Orchestra, he is celebrated as one of America’s leading symphonic jazz piano innovators.
Accompanying Vocalist Avery Sommers is a South Florida icon with a powerhouse voice and a standout Broadway résumé, including Ain’t Misbehavin’, Showboat, Chicago, and award-winning national tours. Her TV and film credits include Miami Vice, B.L. Stryker, and As the World Turns. A frequent headliner across top regional venues, she is a Carbonell Award winner, Silver Palm recipient, and Monaco International Film Festival Best Supporting Actress.
