Just when you think winter is long gone, you wake up and it’s grey and snowy outside. It’s been a long week for me, and that was just enough to make me want to stay in bed. So, this week, we go back Under the Covers for some of our favourite cover songs. This week was almost all covers, some new, some neat, some downright weird.

A jam packed show once again.
