Friday night of An Under Cover Weekend 5 at the Firebird was soulful, funky and most exceptionally hard-rocking.

The Jump Starts began the festivities of night two of An Under Cover Weekend at the Firebird with Justin Johnson and Sarah Ross occupying the front of the stage, assuming the role of the Violent Femmes.

The idea behind An Under Cover Weekend is simple: Local bands transform themselves into their favorite artists to pay tribute to them for 30 minutes. The result of months of hard work culminates in two nights of rock celebration at the Firebird that captures the essence of rock 'n' roll.
