He recently headlined the South by Southwest music festival's Songwriter Showcase. The play, Covert's first, won a 1997 Jeff Award for Best New Work, and was nominated for several others. His solo album, Birthday is now out on Waterdog Records . A fantastic collection of love songs, fairy tales, bedtime stories and lullabies and folk introspection, it is a powerful tribute to Covert's songwriting skills.
Every track feels integral to the whole and fits almost seamlessly into the whole.
Throughout the record Covert exhibits a deft songwriting touch.
