Description:
The Virginia Tech Corporate Research Center presents the Block Party for Game Changer Week featuring the music of Crawford & Power on Thursday, September 15, 2022.

Come out and celebrate your community as part of the Game Changer Week finale! Enjoy live music from Crawford & Power, food trucks, beverages, lawn games, and a t-shirt launching contest.

With roots in country, Americana, and southern rock, Crawford & Power seek to put their twist toward a classic country music revival. Authentically southern, Jake Crawford's powerful vocal blended with a modern approach to the Dobro from Ethan Power, create a brand of country that has been lauded as a breath of fresh air to the genre. Rooted in southern authenticity, Jake Crawford's commanding vocals seamlessly blend with Ethan Power's modern Dobro approach, crafting their own brand of Appalachian Red Dirt Country.

The Franklin County, VA based band has opened for a variety of artists including The Marshall Tucker Band, Willie Nelson, Travis Tritt, The Charlie Daniels Band, Cody Johnson, Luke Combs, 38 Special, Gary Allan, and Jerry Douglas, among many other major acts.

With the help of their debut EP, "Play a Hank Jr. Song," the duo has quickly eclipsed over 6 million on-demand streams. Crawford & Power followed up their debut release with two singles in 2019, "She Liked to Get High" and "Dancing Alone" and began 2020 by releasing, "Letting You Go". The duo released "What I've Been Missin'," on August 20th, 2021. That was followed by fan favorite "Moonshine", "Country Boys Like Me", and "I'd Like a Shot" in early 2022.

As they set their sights on 2025 and beyond, Crawford & Power are preparing new music and continued musical exploration. This duo is just getting started, poised to captivate audiences with their evolving sound.
