David Newbould to Release "Power Up!

(NASHVILLE, TN) -- David Newbould finds his musical calling deep inside his road-weary soul. Since kickstarting his career with 2007's Big Red Sun, he's made his mark as a heartland roots-rocker, Americana artist, and amplified folksinger, writing songs that chart the ups and downs of a traveling adulthood spent mostly onstage. His fourth full-length studio album, Power Up!, is to be released June 10 on Blackbird Record Label. Soaked in the grease, grit, and guitar-driven swagger of rock ‘n’ roll, Power Up! underscores passionate messages of persistence and unshakeable survival.

The band's latest release is all about musical exploration and traveling between worlds.
