“Steve has produced our concerts at the Green County Fair in Wisconsin for almost 20 years. WE LOVE HIM TO DEATH HERE! His experience has helped us avoid problems, kept the acts on the straight and narrow, and made sure the shows start on time. He’s a wonderful and fun guy to work with and always offers great entertainment year after year.”
Joyce Binder, Secretary, Green County Fair, Monroe, Wisconsin
"Steve’s knowledge and collective demeanor gain him the respect of everyone he comes in contact with. He is a consensus builder, respectful of everyone, and uniquely well-grounded in an industry known for its aggressive personalities and big egos. And, he is great communicator, all which makes him very effective and someone you will enjoy working with. Without a doubt, I highly recommend Steve to book and manage any concert or event in which he chooses to engage."
Bob Dawson, Treasurer, Ohio Fair Managers Association; Director, Lake County Fair, Painesville, Ohio
"The Ohio Fair Managers Association convention and entertainment showcase is the largest gathering of its kind in the country attracting over 3000 attendees. Steve Cover has arranged and produced our national entertainment showcase for several years now. He has done a fantastic job handling this very large undertaking. He is a master of his craft and a consummate professional."
Bob Dawson, Treasurer, Ohio Fair Managers Association; Director, Lake County Fair, Painesville, Ohio
“As a music industry specialist, Steve has saved us 30-35% on our talent costs over what we could have booked them direct. He negotiates our contracts, advances the show, and works with the artist’s tour and production managers on the day of the show to make sure the production goes smoothly and the show starts on time. We probably would not have booked as many concerts in the past year if it wasn’t for Steve.”
Shary, Freeport, Illinois

It’s been nearly 20 years since Jackyl shot out of Georgia with its wild, untamed and uncouth approach to rock ‘n’ roll. Equal parts hard rock, heavy metal and Southern rock, Jackyl formed in 1991 and brought back rock ‘n’ roll back — back to its down-to-earth, wild, fun-loving origins. Full of spit and swagger — and a “dirty” sense of humor to boot — Jackyl quickly earned a deal with Geffen Records. Jackyl’s live shows were already legendary before the ink dried on the Geffen contract.
