Cooper Tropeau is an alt-country artist from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, fronting his electrifying four-piece band, The Broken Bones. Blending country storytelling with gritty rock edge and alternative cool, the band has become a standout in Canada’s independent country and roots scene, known for high-energy performances and an authentic, no-frills approach to live music.

On August 15, 2025, Cooper Tropeau & The Broken Bones released their second full-length album, Cooper Tropeau & The Broken Bones — a 13-track project recorded with longtime producer SJ Kardash, alongside bandmates EJ Friesen (lead guitar), Liam Santha (bass), and Gunner Tropeau (drums). The album features standout singles “Prairie Fire,” “These Hands,” “There I Go,” and “Way Up,” which together helped the band surpass 700,000 all-time streams and earn growing traction with fans and Canadian radio.

Rooted in traditional instrumentation — including fiddle, steel guitar, and banjo — and layered with modern textures, the record captures the raw, unfiltered energy that defines the band’s live show. It highlights Cooper’s growth as a songwriter while showcasing the tight chemistry and collaborative spirit of The Broken Bones.

Since forming in 2021, Cooper Tropeau & The Broken Bones have built a reputation for high-energy, engaging live performances, playing festivals, rodeos, cabarets, and headlining dates across Western Canada. Whether performing in intimate clubs or on outdoor festival stages, the band consistently delivers passionate performances that connect quickly with audiences. Their live résumé includes festival appearances, regional showcases, and support slots alongside established Canadian country and roots artists.

The band also hosts the annual COOPALOOZA festival on Cooper’s family acreage. Now in its fourth year, the event consistently draws a high-energy crowd and highlights the band’s ability to build, promote, and engage an audience from the ground up — a reflection of their strong grassroots following and DIY touring mindset.

With a recent full-length album, an expanding fanbase, and growing momentum on both sides of the border, Cooper Tropeau & The Broken Bones are actively booking U.S. dates and looking to bring their blend of country, rock, and soul-driven storytelling to American stages.
