'After Hours' is a part of the Don Powell Band Releases. When the pressure if off and the main version is completed we like to give the track a more relaxed feel and vibe, add new instruments, take some away and re-work a few licks and tricks. It gives us an opportunity to feature band members playing other instruments.
This features Jon Bates on Keyboards and Electric Guitar, Steve Whalley on Vocals and Slide Guitar, Craig Fenney Bass and Acoustic Guitar and of course Don Powell on Drums with everyone and Lola the Dog on Percussion!
The Don Powell Band had such a great time meeting everyone at 45Live in Kidderminster! All of you who were there were great performers. Thank you all for coming
Hopefully you will all be seen on the the video, you’ll definitely be heard on a version of the track, when it’s released! There a lot of work for us to do to get it ready, so release date will be announced soon, but expected release January 2025
