Coverville is a podcast, produced three times a week, that focuses on cover songs – a new rendition of a previously recorded song.
The show is produced and hosted by Brian Ibbott, in his home in Arvada, Colorado – about 10 miles West of Denver.

The show features a combination of music and information about the music, delivered in a very relaxed, informal style. On average, each show runs about 35 minutes and features six selections. Information about the performing artist, and source album is provided, along with information about the artist being covered.

Coverville wouldn’t exist without the support of its listeners! Song requests, theme show recommendations, independent artist submissions and suggestions are welcomed and appreciated. There are several ways to contact Coverville:

Coverville is produced using very simple, and inexpensive equipment.

A question that comes up frequently is the question of how to play licensed music in a podcast.
I don’t have all the answers, but I did spill all the information I currently have into a forum topic at Podcast Alley. This is the first place to start if you have questions about playing licensed music in a podcast, as it answers a lot of questions, contains great feedback and additions from other music podcasters, and provides contact info in case you wish to get licenses or ask questions.
