Danie hails from the St.
Louis area and fronts a heavy metal trio called Powers
Court, in which she plays both electric guitar and mandolin. Her
8-string solidbody instrument appears to be a mid-'60s Carvin.
She writes: "I bought it at a music store that had mostly dulcimers
and those type of instruments; I got it used. ... My bassist and I
repainted it." She does bow the mandolin sometimes when she plays
live, for a wild Jimmy Page effect.
If you want to hear a bit of Danie's mandolin playing, here's an MP3 of a
song called "House of
Sorrow." photo © Danie Powers |
