WHO WE ARE
COVER GIRL is the brand new mashup band changing the way you experience cover music. Formed by Jennifer Cella and John Sawicki, friends who started out in this industry together years ago, but left the scene to tour the world and achieve their musical goals and aspirations. Having acquired tremendous success in the music industry, they came back together for the love of music, but found that the live music scene had become stale and boring. They set out with a goal to revive live music with something new, fresh, creative and exciting. They had the idea of crafting creative mash ups, weaving in and out of popular songs, bringing something different to their audience. Cover Girl combines original mashups of your favorite songs, epic medleys of iconic bands like Led Zeppelin and Nirvana with classic showstoppers from legendary artists such as Pat Benetar and Janis Joplin. The result is a set list unlike any other band out there. Playing to the strengths of the voice and performance of lead vocalist Jennifer Cella, Cover Girl features some of the best musicianship around and is one of the most exciting and entertaining acts to hit the music scene.
