Seasoned professionals, Crystal Image has thrilled audiences throughout California and Nevada since 1968. They are equally at home performing great music for dancing, opening for headliners or playing soft background 'listening' music for dinner shows. They can also provide a CD player to play your favorite CD's through their PA system during intermissions. Please note our show schedule to the right of this web site. We do over 200 shows a year. CRYSTAL IMAGE is John Covert and Michael Samaritano. The duo can be expanded with live drums and much more! Michael Samaritano is an ex movie stunt man. He brings excitement to the stage and to the audience with his wireless guitar and crazy antics! He also performs renditions of acoustic songs by artists like James Taylor and Neil Young that will make you believe you are listening to the artist himself. John has opened for Tower of Power, Sons of Champlin, Chad and Jeremy, The Chiffons, Simon & Garfunkel, Gary U.S. Bonds and performed with members of John Lee Hooker's and Albert King's blues bands, Sly and the Family Stone, Tommy Castro, Pam Tillis' band and many others! A BMI songwriter (Grand prize winner in the Nashville Music City Song Festival, multi-finalist American song festival), John's songs have been featured in Hollywood movies, Country Song Roundup and U.S. Gospel News magazines, charted in Billoard and #1 on the Country Gospel Music Guild Charts in 1999. He has also had songs featured on ABC TV (General Hospital), on a CD release out of Ireland/The United Kingdom "California Love-in" that features vintage Crystal Image songs along with the legendary "Steppenwolf" band of "Born to be wild" fame, John sings on an album produced by James E. Myers (aka Jimmy De Knight) composer of "Rock around the clock". John's songs have also been featured on The Nashville Network (TNN), VH1 TV shows "The fabulous life of country superstars" and "Driven" ("Driven" also featured grammy winner, Usher!) and on an episode of "The Sopranos" (A&E network). Crystal Image vintage '70's music hits Europe! Check out Red Lounge Record's site in Germany on the web. redloungerecords.de (artist: crystal image). A core member of the Crystal Image Trio is Dayna Wills, related to legendary country "hall of fame" artist, Bob Wills (Texas Playboys, San Antonio Rose). She has the voice of an angel when she performs country, blues and classic rock favorites! She also has several CD albums in release that can be purchased, along with Crystal Image product, at live shows or on the net. Because the duo or trio has 'keyboard built in' drums and bass run through an excellent sound system, they sound like a full band and are very professional and danceable. A wonderful alternative for smaller budgets and venues! Bigger budget? Ask about live drums, sax, fiddle. Crystal Image takes pride in presenting special guest artists. Such as the "fantastic" Dorothy Sills on sax and blues harp. Jazz, blues and country "electric" violin/fiddle, Dave Holob!! Guitarist/vocalist, "Reb" Ebel and the beautiful and powerful vocalist, Rita Thomas.
