The Powers Ensemble- Kindling

Kindling, the debut from The Powers Ensemble, introduces the singular voice of Mikey Powers—booming, emphatic, and unlike anything else in contemporary folk—joined by Asheville luminaries Libby Rodenbough, Avey Tare, Charlie Boss, Clay White, and Shane Justice McCord for a debut that feels equally rooted in chamber music, folk cabaret, and Appalachian ritual. Its soaring arrangements carry the gravity of medieval procession and the ecstatic pull of pagan celebration, turning songs about growth, decay, death, and renewal into a world where ancient customs feel vividly present.
