Nashville, Tennessee’s Kopecky Family Band believes in the non-traditional definition of family—that we choose who we’re “related” to rather than let blood choose that for us. The non-traditional folk sextet released its last record, Kids Raising Kids, back in 2012, but is still riding that family reunion bus out on the road. The group has a number of tour dates lined up for this fall below, and has given The A.V. Club the premiere of the new video for “Are You Listening,” also below. The clip was directed by Jon Jon Augustavo, who has also directed all of Macklemore’s videos, and follows some fancy KFB jean jackets as they’re release out into the wild.
