Craig Havighurst/MUSIC CITY ROOTS, NashvilleFrom Extravagance To Simple Elegance, We Went, As Kerri Powers Took The Stage With Nothing But A Chair, An Acoustic Guitar And A Tapping Tambourine Strapped To The Toe Of Her Boot..She Began To Lay Down Some Of The Finest Country Blues Fingerstyle Guitar We’ve Had On Our Stage … Shades of Chris Smither And, All The Way Back, Blind Blake And Gary Davis. She’s Got The Dance And Snap And Melodic Intent That Makes The Piedmont Style One Of My Lifetime Favorite Styles, And We Too Rarely See Women Focused On These Skills. On Top Was A Fascinating, Strong Voice Rich With Barbs And Prickles … Laid Back, Well Written And Beautifully Sung Stuff.Specialties: Songwriting, Performing Artist, Creative writing, and Visual Arts.
