Mike Powell – SOLD OUT
March 14, 2020 @ 7:00 pm - 9:30 pm
$20
With a vintage voice and a chest full of hauntingly heartfelt songs, prolific storyteller Mike Powell is the underground messenger of blue-collar soul. Each night the lights go up, this pioneering poet lets his guard down and allows the fervently fearless stories to come to life. His comfort behind a microphone and unique brand of atomic folk creates a vibe that warms the room like a long-ago fire burning hot inside a cabin in the woods.

In 2004, Powell left Syracuse University as the most decorated lacrosse player in history but declined offers to play professionally so that he could focus fully on the craft of songwriting. Over the past fifteen years he’s written over two hundred songs, released seven albums and has toured the country playing shows with Martin Sexton, David Lindley, Shooter Jennings, Sarah Lee Guthrie & many more.

This fiercely independent artist presents his songs in several different formats which allows his sound to match whatever room he’s playing. His relaxed solo-style listening room show puts Powell’s extreme comfort as a performer on display and breaks down the door between the stage and the mezzanine.

“Mike Powell‘s voice is the clincher…with just the right amount of grit and grain in his tone” – Post To Wire
“His lyrics are vulnerable and laden with vivid imagery like a Johnny Cash song, while subtly raspy vocals give his John Prine-eque melodic singing a more modern flavor.” – Birkby Music
“A captivating storytelling talent” – Positively Oswego
