FROM CORPORATE DESK TO SOLD OUT SHOWS!
The unlikely route from there to here:
At the youngish age of 50, Thomas Kovacs leaves his career as a computer programmer/analyst at a large Canadian corporation to pursue his passion for music full-time.
Highlights along the way …
1991: Kovacs flies to Bahrain in the Persian Gulf to perform for U.S. troops at the height of Desert Storm with the newly formed rock/dance band Sister Moon. Playing every night for five months in the two-hundred person bar of the Cunard Princess influences Kovacs's chops as an entertainer - close to 150 performances later, Kovacs returns to Toronto.
Tyler Viaene, Thomas Kovacs, Chris Taylor-Munro, John Carroll, and Sean Dimitrie together formed Sister Moon
