ARTIST biography
Cooper Lower is an Australian singer/songwriter and acoustic guitarist. In 2018, the pop/soul troubadour toured his third album across North America and Europe, before returning home to a string of Australian shows in October/November.
The story begins unlike most professional careers, 'tis the tale of chubby 13 year old and a pitiful attempt to court a pretty girl. He never got the girl, but music very quickly became a vehicle for purpose, meaning and contribution to the world's injustices.
Cooper released two pop/rock/soul studio albums whilst completing high school, before lowering his eyes to the acoustic guitar for his third release in 2018. Mysteries of Midnight, the five track live EP, received acclaim from two of Australia's most respected music reviewing forums (Beat & Forte).

What the press say
Exquisitely articulate, perceptive and a slither of genius embodies the nomad Cooper Lower. A symphony of percussion and guitar - a musician who put the human in sounds.
Danial Naqvi, Medium (UK)
He has a voice that is both powerful and gentle, lilting and strong. Cooper’s profound songwriting, captivating guitar work and incredibly humble stage presence made for a simply mesmerising audience experience.”
Carol Altmann, Bluestone Magazine (AUS)
“Rising teenage troubadour-folk/bluester Cooper Lower seems ready to ramble through the world in the same romanticised Combi we like to imagine Jack Johnson or Passenger swearing by.”
Mac McNaughton, themusic.com.au
There are two qualities of the EP that never waver; finesse and simplicity.
Lochie Bourke, beat.com.au
Cooper Lower’s third album is a beautiful display of exactly who he is as a musician: original, thought-provoking and meticulous. With heart-cracking vocals, Lower brings soul and vitality into each of these five tracks.
Talia Rinaldo, fortemag.com.au
“An uplifting assault on the harsh, underlying truths of our society. He won’t tell you what to think, he’ll let you exactly what he’s thinking with every intention of waltzing into your inhibition.”
Jed Mast, The Loft
“Somehow this has me considering the futility of love, life and attachment while the sound is simultaneously reassuring me that everything about that is all fine. Cooper, you are now in possession of my sub-conscious.”
