THUNDER BAY – If you follow the local music scene, this weekend is a big one. Over 50 musicians from around the city will be hitting the stage of the Black Pirates Pub to perform at the 7th annual Cover Show, a two night event featuring local bands paying tribute to some of the biggest names in rock, metal, pop and punk.

Hosted by Wiggins Pro-Ductions, the Cover Show has become a staple event for the city’s music community. From its first inception in 2003, the Cover Show has grown from a simple gig to one of the most anticipated local events of the year.

This year’s lineup features a diverse mix of cover bands including: The Beatles, The Guess Who, Hall & Oates, Lady Gaga, Queens of the Stone Age, Johnny Cash, Cake, NOFX, Paramore, Mr Bungle, Clutch and much more.
