Odell Brewing Taps The Covz for Tasting Event

FORT COLLINS, Colo. - Nov. 18, 2013 - PRLog -- A Fort Collins favorite, The Covz (www.thecovz.com) have been tapped by Odell Brewing Company to play at the tasting event being held from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Nov. 21 at Odell Brewing Company. That afternoon, The Covz will be featured on KCSU’s live performance sessions. What makes the Odell news so notable for the Fort Collins community is that CSU students both crafted the beer that will be tasted and that CSU students are also instrumental in providing the entertainment for the event: The Covz is composed of two CSU students—lead singer Ian Schroff and bassist Adam Ulissey—in addition to drummer Josiah Schroff and guitarist Johnathan Gleason. They will release their first EP later this month.

The Covz are not only a KCSU favorite but also are well-loved by the Fort Collins community. The Coloradoan declared that The Covz video filming “Today’s Ticket” last month; the event was led by local filmmaker and CSU student Eric  Modlin, who spent countless hours filming The Covz performing on the Mainline rooftop and at various locals across Fort Collins. The film famously features lead singer Ian Schroff falling into a mighty frigid Horsetooth Reservoir and is featured on the band’s website, which is designed and maintained by Stephen Matich, a CSU graduate.

In addition to playing at Odell’s, The Covz have been featured performers at The Wild Boar, Mainline, Mo Jeaux’s, and the Pourhouse, and will have their EP release party at 8 p.m. on Dec. 6 at Crankenstein. The Covz are evidence of the Fort Collins's community support of one of their own.
