The Powell Brothers

Background

Blake and Taylor Powell are both multi-instrumentalists. They first toured together in 2006 as a hired backing band, and continued to play as such until Blake graduated from Kingwood High School in 2007, and Taylor in 2010. Post-graduation, both of the brothers briefly attended Berklee College of Music. In their individual careers, the brothers have worked as songwriters, producers, band members, music directors, and session players for more than 30 artists internationally, including: Drew Cline, Grace Pettis, Granger Smith, Haley Cole, Jon Wolfe, Sam Riggs and the Night People, Tucker Jameson, and Will Makar. In February 2014 they were both on the verge of pursuing separate careers on opposite sides of the United States, but instead, decided to form The Powell Brothers and focus on making their own music. In March 2016, they added Joseph Daniel as an official member. Chad Tolar joined The Powell Brothers in June 2016 as the band's manager, booking agent, and keyboard player.

The band's music has been praised for its catchy melodies, thoughtful lyrics, and superb musicianship. The group has performed with many top national and regional acts, including Willie Nelson, Josh Turner, Gary Allen, Granger Smith, Randy Rogers Band, Cody Johnson, and Kevin Fowler, to name a few. In Texas, The Powell Brothers play live in concert at some of the state’s top live music venues, such as: Gruene Hall, Floore's Country Store, Concrete Street Amphitheater, House of Blues Houston, The Blue Light Live, Luckenbach Texas, and Redneck Country Club.

The Powell Brothers released its first radio single, "Four Wheel Hotel," in November 2016. In its very first week on radio, the single debuted on both the Texas Regional Radio Report and CDX Traction Texas charts.
