    About

    Frank and Jim Kovac combine over 30 years of music experience and a craving for originality to create Kovac Brothers. The sound emerges with a courageous style of Rock, with a Country-Jazz Spice!


    Drawing on their unique experiences the brothers instinctively realized how to work towards making music that had mass appeal but was interesting enough to hold the attention of the most discerning listener. Their first album “Seeing is Believing” revealed a wide range of influences and their new material has displayed this trend with a bit more risk taking. Moreover, their interesting versions of various covers are creative and just fun, ranging from TLC, The Grateful Dead, Steely Dan, The Meters, Beyonce, and beyond. For every listener there is always a surprise about to be heard. The opportunity for Frank and Jim to work together professionally came up in the summer of 2005 and the result was well worth the wait.


    Frank and Jim had separate successes in the music industry before they performed on a major stage at the 1997 HORDE Tour in Philadelphia with Colonel Bruce Hampton (Aquarium Rescue Unit) and members of Leftover Salmon. At the time, Frank Kovac was touring relentlessly with New Brown Hat. He had been on this tour with the likes of Blues Traveler, Ben Folds Five, Beck, and Neil Young. At the same time, Jim Kovac was a free-lance drummer, a hired gun, most notably with industrial band Simulcast, hip-hop group the The Nervous System and pop singer Amie Miriello, now Dirtie Blonde and backup vocalist with certified platinum recording artist Sugarland.


    Teaming up with another old friend, renowned producer Brad Young, they released the album “Seeing is Believing” and have been making music ever since. They have a Live Album released in 2024 and are in the mixing phase of their new record, released in the spring of 2025. Keyboardist Patrick Sweeney has simply stated that every song is unique but they are all saying “welcome, come on in and listen”. With that in mind, Kovac Brothers is certainly one of those “must have” bands for your collection and a show you will want to return to whenever possible.


    Turn on Red is a roadhouse rock group made up of 6 friends who love making music together. Our sound is a mix of everything you love - from the soul of Aretha and the blues of Tedeschi to the rock of Van Morrison, with a little Joplin fire thrown in.  We bring high energy, good vibes and a setlist packed with songs you want to hear-and ones you forgot you loved. For us, it's about killer tunes, a tight knit crew and a damn good time.
