Ckopa is a Ukrainian folk band that plays Ukrainian classics as well as many popular rock tunes. The band was created by Matt Purawec when his love for music united him with his friends Andrew Chachula and Julian Petelycky, commencing the fundamentals of the band. Ckopa turned heads quickly as CYM Mississauga requested that they play at their 50th anniversary banquet, hence the search for a vocalist. Stephanie Lovell was quickly adjourned with the band as the lead vocalist. After a solid performance, opportunities begun to pile up. Ckopa was later united with keyboardist Michael Kobelak, finalizing the band. The band continues to play at many Ukrainian functions sharing their take on Ukrainian music.
Hi Guys Thanks for your message. Yeah, playing together would be great. It would be nice to put together a lineup of some bands for a show on a Friday night after Easter. All the best.
