We are Papa Midnight. We are a Philadelphia band on the rise looking to get our music out to the public
“PM” originally started with Josh Copskey and Jay Caucci playing original acoustic shows throughout the Delaware Valley in 2002. Wanting to expand their sound, they brought on board singer/songwriter Steve Smith in 2004. The trio went on to play for several years known as “In The Red”.
Fast forward to 2007; the band found themselves with a new name and a new sound. Papa Midnight was born. After a few rehearsals bass player, Zac Tait, and drummer, Chris Medlar, were added to form the official “PM”. With this lineup the group has been able to master their original sound and form a strong following in the Delaware Valley. After playing reputable venues such as The Pennant East, The Stone Pony, Doc Watsons, North Star Bar, Susquehanna Bank Center and being featured on WMMR's Jaxsons Local shots as one of the top up and coming bands. Papa Midnight also performed on national television on Backstage with Barry Nolan in May08 and played a live studio performance at Radio 104.5 in July 08. July proved to be a great month, giving the band opportunities to play at Dave Matthews Band's and Pearl Jams's VIP parties at the Susquehanna Bank Center. PM's single, Yarn, will be featured as a track in the up and coming movie 'No Boundaries". The movie is due out in February of '09 and will be send to Sundance, Cannes and 10 other movie festivals around the world.
In the upcoming year the band plans on finding professional management/label representation, planning a 08/09 tour and finishing the full length album. PM continues to play live, write more material and hopefully gain more fans everyday.
"I recently caught Papa Midnight live at The Cherrywood...
What I experienced was one of the best performances that I've ever seen from a local unsigned band.
Papa Midnight has charisma on stage, backed up with vibrant energy, and great songs.
I believe that Papa Midnight will quickly rise to the top, and impact not only the local original music scene, but on the national stage as well..."

“The best original band I’ve heard” – Al Grosso, Manager Harper’s Pub
“This bands acoustic set in the studio was on fire! Their Stone Pony performance was even better. Papa Midnight’s sound is so original that you cannot stamp a genre on them. They rock!” – Sean Layton, WMCX 88.9 Radio
"When you talk about the full package, these guys have it. Musicianship, Songwriting & Stage presence. From note 1, the party was in full gear. Papa Midnight's blend of Rock & Reggae with a modern edge spans genres & demographics. Young & Old, Boys & Girls alike will latch on to these guys and will be exhausted & smiling by the end of the set" - Vince, Double V Booking/Doc Watsons
"The best up and coming band" -CN8's Backstage with Barry Nolan
