THE MUSIC
A sound that doesn’t stay in one lane
At the center of Cooper Tropeau & The Broken Bones is a simple idea: make music that feels real. Drawing from country, rock, folk, Americana, and alternative music, Cooper’s songwriting is rooted in storytelling and lived experience, while the band brings those songs somewhere that doesn't always fit neatly into one genre.

The band's self-titled album captures the range of the project, moving from stripped-down songwriting to full-band country-rock and everything in between. Recorded at Full Color Recording in Saskatoon with longtime collaborator SJ Kardash, the album has surpassed 500,000 streams across Spotify and Apple Music.

COOPER TROPEAU
Vocals · Guitar · Harmonica
A songwriter and frontman at the centre of the project, Cooper brings the stories and songs that give the band its foundation, while The Broken Bones bring them to life with their own sound and chemistry.
WHO WE ARE
From Saskatchewan - Built Together
Cooper Tropeau started writing, recording, and performing in 2016. Over the years, the project grew from a solo songwriter into the four-piece band it is today, with EJ Friesen, Liam Santha, and Gunner Tropeau joining Cooper to form The Broken Bones in 2021.
Four musicians with different backgrounds, influences, and personalities have spent the years since building the sound together — through countless shows, songwriting sessions, recording rooms, and everything that happens between them.
Everyone contributes to the songwriting and arrangements, and each member brings something different to the music. The result is a band that has developed its own identity by simply playing together and figuring out where the songs want to go.
EJ FRIESEN
Lead Guitar
Coming from a punk and rock background, EJ brings an edge to the band's sound with a guitar style that ranges from melodic and understated to hard-hitting and aggressive. He also adds backing vocals and writes unmistakable riffs.
LIAM SANTHA
Bass · Harmonies
With roots in indie and folk music, Liam brings a strong vocal presence and some of the band's most prominent harmonies. His bass playing and songwriting add another layer to the band's sound.
GUNNER TROPEAU
Drums
Cooper's brother and a character in his own right, Gunner brings a drumming style that's unmistakably his. He's not just the guy behind the kit — he's truly our drummer, bringing his own personality and energy to every song.
The goal has never been to fit neatly into one genre.
Country is in the foundation, but rock, folk, Americana, and alternative influences are all part of the picture. With every member bringing their own background, ideas, and musical voice to the table, the sound continues to evolve.
Make music that feels honest. Sound like ourselves. Keep moving forward.
NEW MUSIC
“YOU KNOW ME”
October 30, 2026
“You Know Me” marks the beginning of a new chapter for Cooper Tropeau & The Broken Bones. The first release since the band's 2025 self-titled album, the song looks inward at the patterns we recognize in ourselves but don't always know how to break, wrapped in a driving, guitar-heavy arrangement with harmonica, layered vocals, and a standout guitar solo.
MORE MUSIC ON THE WAY
“You Know Me” is the first of a series of new releases planned throughout the next year, continuing the band's momentum following their 2025 self-titled album.
COOPALOOZA
Built from the ground up.
In 2022, Cooper Tropeau started COOPALOOZA, an independent music festival held on his family's acreage outside Saskatoon.
What started as a small idea has grown into an annual event bringing together Canadian country and rock artists, local businesses, sponsors, friends, and hundreds of music fans for a full day of live music and community.
The 2026 edition, COOPALOOZA 3045, marked the festival's fifth year and its biggest edition yet, featuring five bands, three acoustic acts, and an audience of 600+ people..
But COOPALOOZA is about more than putting on a show. Cooper has built the festival from the ground up — working with artists, sponsors, production teams, vendors, security, ticketing, transportation, and local businesses to create an experience that continues to grow each year.
That same independent mindset carries into the music.
