Seattle Jazz Musician, Michael Powers, Comes to the Poverty Bay Wine Festival

Jazz Musician, Michael Powers
If you're at all familiar with the Seattle music scene, you'll recognize guitarist, Michael Powers, as a local musical phenomena. With a career that began at the age of 15, Michael has single-handedly designed his pathway for success; composing, producing, recording and playing on his own record label. He has built a loyal following and makes a living playing music, something every musician desires to do. 
Fans may remember when he was a frequent visitor at Prosito's in Tacoma in the late '80s. In those days, Powers played a lot of straight-ahead blues.  He has since moved on to a jazz emphasis.  In late 2001, he was called on for a European tour featuring members of the legendary George Benson Quartet, organist "Dr." Lonnie Liston Smith and saxophonist Ronnie Cuber.

Reviews:
"Michael Powers, the Seattle jazz guitarist, who just gets better all the time."   The Seattle Times

"There are TWO types of people. Those who love Michael Powers’ music, and those who have not yet heard it." The Review

Powers, will be performing at the Poverty Bay Wine Festival on Sunday, March 6th at 3:00 pm at the Landmark Event Center in Des Moines.  For more information, please visit www.dmrotary.org.
