If you like NICKELBACK, BON JOVI, LENNY KRAVITZ AND VAN HALEN...You will dig my stuff! Guitar driven hard rock that kicks ass!Band/artist history
David Powers may have earned his stripes from raw guitar virtuosity he was one of 3 finalists in Guitar Player Magazines Guitar Hero 06 competition but impressing the likes of Joe Satriani, Steve Lukather and other hardened, celebrity judges (all of whom praised David for his playing, tone, guitar choice and performance) was only the beginning. Powers is an epic songwriter who blends the traditional heavy-rock ballad format with effortless harmonies.
A Westchester, NY native, David took root in the tri-state area music scene. He has performed hundreds of gigs in the areas most popular venues, building a die-hard fan base in the process. Powers recent move into the studio was a natural progression, but one that industry insiders have surely not missed. Songwriting, production said Pam Brooks, DJ and PD of Cumulous Media, David is what music has been waiting forTALENT!
With LOUDER, his debut release from Mindride Records, David Powers showcases his dynamic virtuosity while paying tribute to the classic rock aesthetic. From the leading heavy metal intro of "Never Gonna Know" to the 80's Van Halen homage '1984', this album keeps the adrenaline pumping. Heroes reverberates against the backdrop of modern rock, a classic anthem that asks the universal question, Where have all the heroes gone? The track even cues the ghost of Alice in Chains with an eerily harmonic bridge and minor guitar riffs. Without doubt, Louder exemplifies what Rock n Roll is all about be sure to turn it up to 11.Have you performed in front of an audience?Yes. All over the tri-state area. I love it!!!
