Mazarine Records' powerkompany will be playing two shows in NYC this week. They will be at Rockwood Music Hall (196 Allen St.) on Valentine's Day at 11pm, and at Googie's Lounge above The Living Room (154 Ludlow St.) on Thurs., February 16th at 8pm.
If you are in the NYC area, start (and keep) your Valentine's week on a great track by checking out powerkompany, a duo comprised of Georgia music veterans Marie Davon (Venice is Sinking) and Andrew Heaton (The Packway Handle Band.) The pair will kick off their NYC excursion with an 11pm Valentine's Day show at Rockwood Music Hall, and will continue with an 8pm appearance at Googie's Lounge (above The Living Room).
Their label's website describes their sound as being "Music for Blade Runner, if it were a love story." This description, as well as the origin of powerkompany as a unit, is particularly appropriate to this week's show line-up, as the music of Davon and Heaton has truly been born from love, admiration and mutual respect for both one another and the others in their separate lives. I could go into great written detail about the history of powerkompany, but would just be reiterating that which has already been eloquently phrased on Mazarine Records' site. So, do yourself a favor, and follow this LINK to read a touching, beautiful story. As soon as you're done with that, click on the video below to view their new video for 'Dear Boy," by Mark Magnarella.
In addition to gracing the stages of NY with their presence this week, powerkompany is also slated to perform at the Mazarine Records showcase at this year's Savannah Stopover Festival. From March 7th-10th, the city of Savannah, GA will play host to approximately 70 musical acts, serving as a springboard to Austin's SXSW.
