Our Mission
About Rising Tide Music NY
Rising Tide Music NY, based in Westchester, is all about lifting up independent artists and bringing people together through music.
We started with a simple idea: music is like a tide—it lifts everyone. We’re here to help artists grow, spark new ideas, and bring fresh energy to music scenes all over the area. Whether it’s on stage, in the studio, or working behind the scenes, we’re all about one thing—supporting real artists making real art.
Who We Are
We are artists, producers, and creators who care deeply about sound, storytelling, and community.
We work across genres to support musicians at every stage — from first recordings to sold-out shows.
What We Do
Live Events & Showcases – Curated shows and grassroots events that bring music to life and people together.
Artist Support – Helping independent musicians with everything from booking and promotion to creative direction.
Collaborations – Connecting artists, producers, and venues to create new opportunities and unique projects.
Music Spaces – Breathing new life into local stages, studios, and creative hubs across the region.
Revenue Generation - We help artists monetize their work through live shows, direct-to-fan sales, streaming, licensing, and merch—turning passion into profit so they can focus on creating.
Our Vision
Rising Tide isn’t just a name — it’s a way of thinking. We’re not here to chase trends or build brands. We’re here to build a scene. A space where creativity leads, opportunity is shared, and music moves us all forward.
Services
Live Venue Consultants
We work closely with venues to elevate the live music experience—for both artists and audiences. By curating high-quality lineups, supporting sound and production improvements, and helping venues tap into fresh local talent, we create shows that feel intentional and unforgettable.
Our goal is to turn every performance into a win-win: artists get the spotlight and professionalism they deserve, and venues build stronger reputations, increase foot traffic, and deepen their connection to the local music scene. Together, we raise the bar for what live music can be.
Our Venue
Redline Music Stage is a unique live music venue located inside the K1 Speed entertainment complex in Mount Kisco, NY.
This dedicated music space, it offers a fresh experience for fans looking to enjoy local bands, tribute acts, and themed events.
Beyond the music, Redline gives guests access to all of K1’s amenities: go-kart racing, VR games, bowling, and food and drinks from the Paddock Lounge. It’s an ideal venue for artists to reach new audiences and for the community to enjoy an all-in-one night of entertainment.
Merchandise
Indy Merch NY is built to help independent artists design, produce, and sell high-quality merchandise without the usual barriers.
Whether it's t-shirts, vinyl, posters, or custom pieces, we offer a streamlined process that keeps creative control in the artist's hands while handling the logistics behind the scenes.
From design support and sourcing to fulfillment and sales at shows or online, Indy Merch NY helps artists turn their brand into a reliable income stream. It's merch made simple—with artists at the center of it all.
About us
Founder, Duke Covone began playing guitar later in life, mentored by Westchester drummer Gary Schwartz. He took over the Legendary Tuesday Jam and has been central in building its musical community.
He leads a classic rock band, and serves as the house band leader for weekly jams—emphasizing creative chemistry, discipline, and an entertainer-first approach.
His musical influences include his friendship with Rudy Isley of The Isley Brothers, weekly visits to see Les Paul at Fat Tuesday’s in NYC, a lifelong love of British rock, and deep roots in blues and R&B.
Duke is fortunate enough to be surrounded by committed regional artists, who support his vision.
"Music has shaped my entire life—from watching The Beatles’ first appearance on the Ed Sullivan show to having the chance to know incredible musicians like Rudy Isley, Les Paul, Jeff Lynne, and countless others.
Because of these experiences, I feel deeply compelled to nurture the next generation of artists. I understand firsthand the challenges musicians face today—trying to make a living, build an audience, and monetize their work. I want to help.
I also see the need to raise the standards of music venues so that audiences truly recognize and appreciate the value of great live music."
