OFFICIAL COVER C.Y.F. LIVE LINEUP!
Hey Folks!! Tonight is the night!
Check back here anytime you need to be reminded of where to go next and/or when you watch an artist follow link in their video status to the next performer. That’s right THE AUDIENCE MOVES FROM ARTIST TO ARTIST like a mini-festival or online progressive party!
Feel free to enjoy this beautiful time of connection and if you feel moved to support artists (most of whom have lost significant amounts of work during this pandemic) feel moved to “tip” on their individual Venmo/Paypal sources. While you’re on their page give them a “like” and follow them for future music adventures!
Everything gets rolling at 7pm EDT and will roll straight through close to midnight. If there are any glitches feel free to come back to this site and check out some older videos of people doing just that, covering their friends!!!

7:00 – John Elliott (from California)
7:20 – brad yoder (From Pennsylvania)

We’re Back At It Folks!
What better time to sing the songs of our friends! In this chapter of inward time spending and outward connecting we’re bringing to you live a unique Cover Your Friends Progressive Facebook Party! Whether you feel compelled to Socially Distance or reframe it as Distant Socializing you can enjoy the whole evening from the safety and comfort of you’re home! Here’s how it works:
One Artist performs a 20 minute set on their Facebook Page at a time. Each set will be 2-3 cover tunes of their friends and if time allows one original tune as well.
When you are at their “set” their Video Status will have information on who’s playing next and a link to their Facebook Page. Like the page you’re on if you do indeed like and consider contributing to that artist through their payment links or merch sales if you’d like.
At the end of the set travel over to the next person’s Facebook Page and enjoy the next 20 min set…and continue on as long as you’d like!
Visit the Cover Your Friends Facebook Page between 6-7pmEST on Sunday 3-29 for the kickoff, instructions, updates, etc. and refer back at any point you need to be reminded of the lineup and where to go when.
Enjoy and celebrate one another…that’s the whole theme of this thing!

www.CoverYourFriends.com is a video blog website that features singer-songwriters playing songs written by their friends and fellow artists who inspire them. It’s classic cross-promotion.
The site was conceived and launched by Connor Garvey, a young performing songwriter from Portland, ME. It started as a way for Garvey to pay respect to his friends, and it is gaining traction as a vehicle to connect and promote an entire community of artists.
It features stripped-down, acoustic versions of songs, usually recorded directly into a notebook computer or iPhone. What stands out for me in each of the videos is the sincerity of the performance. It’s not about flash – each video is a heartfelt tribute.
Who inspires the people who inspire you?
As a kid, I’d sit down with an album – an actual LP! – and devour…
