For Pennsylvania family band Kopper and Kash, “Let’s All Go Down to the River” is more than a Southern gospel favorite — it’s a family tradition. Originally recorded by Johnny Paycheck and later by Alabama, the song holds deep personal meaning for Jeff Pennycoff and his daughters Mia and Ava, who grew up singing it together during Sunday worship in their family’s barn church.

“This song holds a special place in our hearts,” the band shares. “It’s a reminder of faith, family, and the power of music to bring people together — especially through life’s hardest moments.”
Known for their uplifting harmonies and inspiring message, Kopper and Kash blend heartfelt country storytelling with gospel roots. Their previous singles, “The Best I Can” and “True Believer,” showcase the same authentic spirit that’s earned them nominations from the Central Pennsylvania Music Hall of Fame and performances at The Bluebird Café in Nashville.
Through their music, the family continues to honor their late son and brother Matthew, turning pain into purpose and loss into love. “Music has been our healing,” they say. “We hope our songs remind people that family, faith, and hope still matter.”
