Ralph Covert and The Bad Examples featuring Owen Meany

Ralph Covert and his band The Bad Examples have been a staple of the’90’s, when their song Not Dead Yet was burning up the airwaves on Chicago’s WXRT and on radio stations from coast to coast in America and as well as in Holland. Ralph has toured from LA to New York to Amsterdam, and played shows with bands including Los Lobos, Squeeze, Del Amitri, Steppenwolf, Wilco, The Lemonheads, Golden Earring, and BB King.

With Ralph’s family music project Ralph’s World, he has received a GRAMMY nomination, been on the front page of the New York Times Arts Section, and tours nationally, bringing his music to a new generation. The Bad Examples are limited in performing and putting out new albums largely due to Ralph Covert’s success as creator of the family music rock band, Ralph’s World. Musically it is similar to The Bad Examples but the lyrics and themes are oriented towards young children, approximately ages 2 to 7. The sixth Ralph’s World album, “Green Gorilla, Monster & Me” was nominated for a Grammy award as “Best Musical Album For Children.” Ralph’s World was originally signed to Mini Fresh, a division of the Minty Fresh label, and subsequently signed to Disney Sound for a hits compilation, several videos, and one all-new project along with the re-release of the previous six albums. The most recent Ralph’s World album is on Bar None Records.
