COVIE at Cargo TX

Cargo TX, Longview, TX

This show has already passed, but Cargo TX keeps booking live music on its outdoor stage. Check its event page for the next dates.

COVIE, a soul band founded in Tyler in 2019, brought its blend of soul, pop, blues, and reggae to Cargo TX's outdoor stage on Saturday, October 17, 2026. The collective, whose name stands for Collective of Voices and Entertainment, has built a following across East Texas and the Dallas-Fort Worth area with a warm, gospel-tinged sound, and a released self-titled album in 2021. The show is now archived, but it is worth noting for anyone sizing up the local music calendar: not everything on it is country.

Why it matters for the area

Cargo TX has become a genuine regional music destination, and nights like this one show the range of what it books. A soul and R&B-leaning band on the same stage that hosts Texas country headliners means the property sits within easy reach of a surprisingly varied music scene. For someone weighing a move or a weekend retreat, a venue calendar like this is a real quality-of-life signal.

Getting there from the property

Longview is about 50 minutes from 1786 County Road 1070 via US-271 and I-30. The venue's fall calendar has more dates on the way, and its outdoor setup over the pond makes it one of the most pleasant places in the region to see a band. Keep an eye on the schedule for the next show.
