The next three tracks feature just Powell and his acoustic guitar. Travelling On is emotionally nuanced, honest and intimate. Thicker Skin and For You are tender, heartfelt hymnals, both ethereal yet completely natural sounding, as Powell seeks and finds a deep connection to the music and the feeling that emanates.
Since recording the EP, Powell has supported John Cales Velvet Undergroud at their sell out concert at Liverpools Sound City, and appeared at the Liverpool International Music Festival last weekend. His next live gig will be at the Skeleton Coast Festival on August 5th, and he plays the Buyers Club in Liverpool on September 8th.
