Indie Artist Mike Power, and Artist Todd Barrow Are On Air!

MIKE POWER

As a veteran of New York City’s underground music scene, I played on the stages of such beloved lost venues as CBGB’s and Kenny’s Castaways, as well as stalwart survivors like Arlene’s Grocery and the Bitter End, as singer and guitarist with several bands. While quarantining from the pandemic, I worked remotely with other artists to record my first solo album, a collection of new music called Observations that Beat Buzz News calls a “great mix of old school NYC punk and acoustic gems.” My new album Compulsions was recorded this year with a wonderful band and producer at Vinegar Hill Sound in Brooklyn. Compulsions is available now wherever you get your musical fix.

Todd’s music is no country for old men. While he undoubtedly draws his sonic influence from titans like Hank Williams and Johnny Cash, his melodies skew modern. He plays almost every instrument, from piano to guitar, mandolin, harmonica, and drums, and the multi-instrumentalist doubles as a songwriter for himself as well as for other artists. “"If I can put a smile on someone’s face through song, well that just means the world to me,” he says. “I try to get to the real heart and soul of a song. To me, it's not just words but a story, and I do my best to portray that with every line. That’s my main draw to country music; the stories, the people, and the sincerity that comes from the heart."
