Great Blues to be found at Powerhouse Records

A great guitarist and friend, Tom Principato, just (5/6/2013) sent out a message about the Powerhouse catalog, and I thought it was such a great resource, I'm re-posting it (in its entirety) here so Blues fans can take advantage of what he has been compiling for 30 years... great stuff!

Here is the note from Tom:




P.O. Box 2213
Falls Church, Va. 22042 USA
703-534-9179
 
Hello, Many people don't realize it, but I've been the owner of Washington D.C.'s longest running Roots music label Powerhouse Records. I founded the label in 1984 to release on LP the album "Night Life" by my 1970's group Powerhouse after I purchased the Master tapes. Also in those days I released 2 45 RPM releases of my music. Over the years, as Powerhouse Records and my music became more established in the marketplace, I was able to offer an outlet for some of my musician friends and bands to release their own music with artistic control, retain ownership and all of their rights, and in many cases pay significant royalties to artists and their families. I founded the label with the intention of being an artist oriented label, and to offer an alternative to some of the Record label BS I had encountered over the years. The 1980's was a much different era for the music and Record business. In those days everyone wanted a Major label deal, so for me to start my own "Indie" label was something that was quite challenging, a lot of hard work, and not the norm. These days, "Indie" is the thing, and I'm proud to say "we were Indie before Indie was cool!". Even artists like Bonnie Raitt, who for years recorded for mega labels like Warner Bros. now release their own recordings on their own "Indie" labels. My how times have changed---thanks mostly to the Internet!
Since 1984 Powerhouse Records has grown to include a catalogue of over 40 releases by myself and such artists as Bob Margolin, Roy Buchanan, Danny Gatton, Nighthawks, John Mooney, Big Joe Maher, Tommy Lepson, Kevin McKendree, Fred Chapellier, Steinar Gregertsen, Steve Wolf & Swingspeak, Blazing Telecasters, Mark Wenner, Jay Turner & Pete Kennedy. I'd like to take this opportunity to invite you to visit our web site at www.powerhouserecords.com and see if there might be some music there that might interest you. There's a lot of great music here by some of Washington DC's best. You can listen to MP3's and make purchases using Paypal, and International orders are possible as well. If you can't purchase with a Paypal account, you can always purchase most of the catalogue at any Tom Principato concert, or pay by check in the mail. Any inquiries are welcome and you can call us at 703-534-9179. Thanks for looking and thanks for your support!
