KERRI POWERS SPREADS A UNIVERSAL MESSAGE ON HER LATEST ALBUM “LOVE IS WHY”

Singer-songwriter Kerri Powers channels blues and soul with an earthy sensibility. Her ‘Love is Why’ album explores love’s influence on our decisions. The songs were written during the pandemic and after Powers lost her father. They share her love for humanity.

Ease behind the microphone and the songwriting pen could be traced to Powers’ family heritage: Bing Crosby was a distant relative on her father’s side, while on her mother’s side, there is a kinship to Herman Melville. Her paternal grandmother played piano for silent movies.

Powers has performed at the Boston Folk Festival, Philadelphia Folk Festival, and the Telluride Bluegrass Festival. She has toured the United State, the Netherlands, Belgium, and the U.K. Her song “Diamond Day” was featured in the motion picture Chuck, and other tracks have made their way into the television series Rescue Me and Justified.

You will feel the realness and rawness of Kerri’s artistry. She delivers a musical canvas painted with soulful colors and emotion that will pull you into her message of love.
