El Paso - July 27, 2021 - The Powell Brothers will make their return to El Paso and the 2021 Way Out West Festival line-up on Saturday, October 2, 2021 at Southwest University Park. They will perform on the Karbach Ranch Water Seltzer Country Concert Stage along with Randell King and headliner Cody Johnson.
THE POWELL BROTHERS is an American Country duo from Houston, Texas fronted by brothers Taylor Powell (lead vocals, guitar, bass) and Blake Powell (vocals, bass, guitar). With a unique blend of genres, thoughtful lyrics and superb musicianship, they have garnered a vast and diverse following. Releases include seven singles, three EPs and one full length album.
The Powell Brothers kicked off 2021 by releasing "Twenty Twenty,” a five track EP featuring the hit radio single “How It’s Done.” Taylor, Blake, drummer Mike Bishop Smith, and sound engineer Blake Sessions spent time together working on new music during the coronavirus pandemic. The team hunkered down at “The Farm,” a barn converted into an audio/video studio on The Powell Brothers’ farm outside of Houston, Texas. After several weeks of collaborating, the band emerged from the barn with a new edgy, hard hitting sound with major attitude.
The signature sound features powerful electric guitar riffs backed by a driving drum beat and gritty bass tones. The band immediately recorded five songs from The Powell Brothers’ catalogue of released material. The result was “Twenty Twenty,” a pulse pounding, addictive musical elixir blending elements of County and Rock in a unique way that is unmistakably The Powell Brothers.
After releasing “Twenty Twenty” on February 5, 2021, Taylor and Blake Powell vowed to continuously push out new music throughout 2021. The Powell Brothers held true to their promise and just thirty days later, the group dropped the new single “Hopeless.” Don’t let the title fool you; this song is a roll the windows down, crank the volume up and put your foot on the gas Spring/Summer anthem! Blake Powell explains the song title like this: “Hopeless is based on all the backhanded compliments we've received on our journey from making music our lives to making music our livelihood. This song is for everyone who followed their dreams no matter what people said along the way.” The single is available now on all streaming sites, including Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes, Amazon Music, Google Play, Pandora and more.
The Powell Brothers’ music really comes to life in their high energy live show. The group is featured at major music festivals across the United States, including · Oregon Jamboree (Sweet Home, Oregon) · Bands In The Backyard Music Festival (Pueblo, Colorado) · Merchants & Music Festival (Fort Thomas, KY) · Way Out West Fest (El Paso, TX) · Ziegenbock Music Festival (Corpus Christi, TX) · Oyster Ridge Music Festival (Kemmerer, WY) · Sweet Pea Music Festival (Bozeman, MT) · Corn Palace Festival (Mitchell, South Dakota) to name a few.
The band’s superb musicianship and exciting, high-energy live show has landed them on stage with support some of the biggest names in Country music, including · Jon Pardi · Lee Brice · Brothers Osborne · Josh Tuner · Billy Currington · Cody Johnson · Gary Allan · Granger Smith · Parker McCollum · Eli Young Band and · Trace Adkins.
This is the second time the Powell Brothers will perform at Way Out West, after opening for Lee Brice in 2018.
