`To a Better Dark is a 10 song album by Kevin Koplar, released March 28th, 2025. Kevin Koplar’s style brings together the soul-searching yearn of Dylan with the soul-smashing intensity of Jack White. The ten songs are what Kevin considers his best of 20+ years of songwriting and performing, and it’s been supported by a number of industry pros: Bill Mims (Jimmy Cliff, The Black Crowes, formerly of Sunset Sound), Howie Weinberg (Nirvana, White Stripes), Chris Cosgrove (Permanent Records Roadhouse), Drummer Brendan Buckley (Morrissey, Shakira), Rock artist & Tina Turner tribute star Debby Holiday, Cecelia Fairchild (Jumbos Clown Room), a four piece string quartet & members of St. Louis’s own Funky Butt Brass Band.

“File under WTF, which is easily one of my personal favorite files” - Matt Korvette
“His debut album To a Better Dark takes a heap of disparate influences—folky singer-songwriters, garage rock, power pop, funk, contemporary pop, and modern indie rock to name a few—and throws them all into a blender to craft a set of ten richly varied tunes tied together by Koplar’s melodic sensibility and unique, ear-catching vocals”
