Covenhoven et We Are All Fossils

The story of Covenhoven began many years ago when his grandfather built the family a cabin in the woods of southern Wyoming, taking him 10 years to complete, which his father later named "Covenhoven". Joel's musical project under the same name began as a love letter to the spirit and childhood memories of this place, as well as a thank you to his grandfather. The idea has since become a much broader concept: the distilling of a place, with all of its physical and spiritual properties, into an album of songs that capture what it feels like to really be there. The 3rd chapter (and latest) is the album "A Kind of Revelation" which Joel wrote and recorded while touring and exploring the western U.S. coast, including Olympic National Park, Big Sur, and stretches of the Oregon Coast. Joel feels his music is "tied to the earth", with a keen sense of reverence towards our home and all of its inhabitants.

Covenhoven songs have been featured on several American and Canadian TV shows, including Nashville (ABC), Teen Wolf (MTV), Private Eyes (GTN, ION), Flaked (Netflix), and 13 Reasons Why (Netflix). He has toured the U.S. regularly for the past few years and has shared the stage with many artists along the way including Gregory Alan Isakov, John Paul White (Civil Wars), Vance Joy, Blind Pilot, José González, The Oh Hellos, S. Carey (Bon Iver), Lord Huron, Sierra Hull, Rayland Baxter, John Craigie, Joshua James, etc.
