The Snowman Band in Concert
Brian Powers, aka "Snowman" and his band are coming to Music Factory for the third time for a great night of sax-led Jazz and Funk!
Brian “Snowman” Powers grew up in the music traditions of New Orleans. At an early age he was exposed to roots country gospel, funk, and jazz. When he reached the age of eight the saxophone became his instrument of choice. After discovering that the saxophone and music theory were natural instincts for him, Brian went on to study jazz and classical music throughout his schooling. Brian went on to attend and graduate from the New School for Social Research/Mannes College of Music Jazz program in NYC with a BFA in jazz as well as an emphasis in composition. During this period, he toured the country and shared the stage with many top groups including The Samples, Spin Doctors, Junior Mance, Reggie Workman, Chico Hamilton, Deep Banana Blackout, Swampadelica, Antigone Rising, Blues Traveler, and many others.
After graduating and working in music in New York, many studio session opportunities arose and Snowman became a mainstay in the jazz and R & B scene. After a move to Minneapolis in 2001, Brian continued to tour and play with top artists such as Wain McFarland, Excelsior Gospel Choir, Cookie Coleman, The New Primitives, Sounds of Blackness, Darnell Davis and the Remnant, Mick Sterling, The Petersons, and Minneapolis Gospel Sound. After working as a top requested studio musician for so many years, a move behind the scenes was not a surprise. Brian became a producer and engineer where he has been recognized as one of the top Mixing engineers in the world.
Brian “Snowman” Powers continues to tour and record with the best and brightest in the world, and now has formed his own group based in the New Orleans music traditions he grew up with.
