It’s time to stop hating on cover bands and musicians. Yes, there will be bands that aren’t very good, but that doesn’t mean that the whole industry should be frowned upon. Some movies that are re-imagined aren’t very good, some TV shows that try to capitalize on a name don’t make the grade; but it doesn’t give the industry as a whole a bad name.
I choose to celebrate music.
I love new, original music just as much as I love hearing or playing an old favorite. My lofty goal is that all musicians will someday realize that there is, in fact, credibility in playing covers, and that it takes no less talent to reproduce a well-known song than it does to write and record a new one.
