    COVeR Me BADD is a Trickey Jackson production, the collective brainchild of Anne Trickey and JaMile Jackson. Each quarter bands hack a song by creating their own unique cover song music video. An ever growing community of people from those new to music to touring band members, COVeR Me BADD is pure joy through the creative process.
    After two years of making beautiful music together, COVeR Me BADD is exited for a foray into public viewing.
