Powerhouse Records is a Washington DC-based artist-oriented label.
The focus is on American roots music.

Powerhouse Records and Tom Principato is proud to announce an exclusive authorized release from Fender Telecaster icon and guitar legend and virtuoso Roy Buchanan of the CD "Roy Buchanan Live: Amazing Grace" from their "Guitarchives" Series.

These recordings are rare and unreleased never heard performances and many come from the Roy Buchanan estate. Most are unknown even in "collectors" circles, and date from the period 1972 - 1983 and feature many great musicians such as Dick Heintze, Malcolm Lukens, Tom Hambridge, Robbie Magruder and many others accompanying Roy at such notable venues as the Agora Ballroom in Cleveland, the Lone Star Cafe' in New York and the legendary Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin, Texas. There are 8 tracks total from 7 venues and a CD length of 45 minutes of pure Roy Buchanan at his best. A stunning version of Roy solo doing Malaguena from 1972 is a highlight. Topping off the artwork package are two archival photos taken by legendary Rolling Stone photographer Jim Marshall at one of Roy's concerts in San Francisco, Ca. in 1973.

POWERHOUSE RECORDS PRESENTS
DANNY GATTON LIVE IN 1977-"THE HUMBLER STAKES HIS CLAIM"
Release date 7/10/07 exceprts posted at www.myspace.com/powerhouserecords2

Powerhouse Records is proud to present the latest release from our "Guitarchves" Series--"Danny Gatton Live In 1977-The Humbler Stakes His Claim" This release is comprised of newly discovered and previously unheard recordings made by Danny Gatton's sound engineer Chris Murphy throughout 1977 and 1978. What distinguishes these recordings from other live recordings is that these recordings were actually made with microphones placed in the audience, so there is a real feeling of being right there in the club with glasses clanking and audience responses, rather than the more sterile sound of a "board mix".

The set list features some Gatton repetoire standbys such as "Harlem Nocturne" two very different versions (one which features a cameo by the late Dick Heintze on Hammond Organ), "Fingers On Fire", Nit Pickin'", "Canadian Sunset" and two scorching renditions of "Sweet Georgia Brown" as well as obscure songs like Cal Tjader's "Soul Sauce" and two Blues numbers: the slow blues "Danny's Blues" and the shuffle "Walkin' With Danny".

Powerhouse Records Re-releases Tom Principato "In the Clouds" Re-Mastered with Two Bonus Tracks

Originally released in 1995, Tom Principato's "In The Clouds" is back with superior re-mastering and two bonus tracks recorded the same year: J.J. Cale's "Livin' Here, Too" and the Albert King/Booker T. Jones classic "The Hunter". This re-release now contains 10 studio tracks and two stunning live performances recorded at Tornado Alley nightclub in Wheaton, Md.

Here are some press quotes from the original release year:

"Principato plays with pristine beauty and riveting emotional power; he's quite remarkable, and his meaty blend of blues, R&B, and rock will restore your soul"...Dave Richards-Erie, Pa. Time

"Excellent! He has an enormous talent at telling stories in his solos, he doesn't play only 'standard' licks. Guitarist Pat Metheny in an interview with "Guitarist" Magazine (Paris, France) upon hearing "In The Clouds".

Powerhouse Records is proud to announce the release of Wammy award winning singer Tommy Lepson's new CD "Putty and Paint":

Tommy Lepson continues to be one of the great R&B singers around. Always a favorite of mine, this new CD is fabulous and I'm honored Tommy has sung the heck out of my song "No Return". Get this CD. You'll love it! I do. Well done Tommy! Love - Nils Lofgren
