Ralph’s World is the mega-fun musical planet where kids rock and dance to their own and their parents’ delight. It’s the creation of Ralph Covert: indie rocker, songwriter, playwright, and children’s book author. His McCartney-esque style has won him hundreds of thousands of three-feet-and-under fans and their parents.
Full band Ralph's World concerts are as fun for parents as they are for kids -- or is it the other way around? Either way, Ralph and his band lead the audience through a rocking set of dancing, singing, and good old-fashioned fun. Covert engages his young fans with activity songs, story songs, dancing songs, and a healthy dose of pure silliness.
Covert has produced nine albums of Ralph’s World music plus the award-winning Say Hello DVD. His appearances for Ralph’s World include NPR’s All Things Considered, ABC World News Tonight, and The CBS Morning Show, among others. He is also working on Ralph’s World: Time Machine Guitar, a television series that combines music and history.
The Chicago-based artist was noted by The New York Times in a front page story of the Arts section: “It is possible that Mr. Covert will turn out to be [the] genre's Elvis Presley, or at the very least its Elvis Costello.”
Ralph Covert originally came to public attention with his first rock’ n’ roll band, longtime Midwestern favorites The Bad Examples. The quintet continues to perform in Chicago and elsewhere.
