Biography

I am a singer-songwriter, musician and exclusive recording artist at Hughmont International, LLC, a record label based out of Nashville, Tennessee. I have been singing, playing guitar and writing songs since I was a child. My taste in music has roots from all kinds of genres. Patsy Cline, Dolly Parton, Bonnie Raitt, Natalie Merchant, Stevie Nicks, Linda Rhonstadt, Robert Plant, Pat Benetar, and Prince are just a few of the artists that influenced my desire to curate a sound that captivates people of all ages and musical tastes.
 
Most often, you may find me performing with my bandmates in The Gina Powers Band, formed in 2015. With over a century of combined musical experience, we are a powerhouse blend of country and rock n’ roll. We play original music and cover tunes to give our audience a blend of both the novel and nostalgic. Currently, our band includes:

• Gina Powers: Lead Vocals, Acoustic Guitar and Keys
• Mitchell Rittenbach: Bass Guitar and Backing Vocals
• Russell Pfaff: Percussion
• Nathan Pitcher: Lead Guitar and Backing Vocals  

The Gina Powers Band was named as one of John Lamb’s “Best Bets” in the Fargo Forum. We have been featured in URL Lifestyle Magazine along with the High Plains Reader. Our music video “How’s This Go,” released in May 2021, was featured in “The East Portland Blog” (Oregon). The video can be found on our YouTube channel (information below). Both The Gina Powers Band debut EP and the second EP release Departure can be streamed on most streaming platforms.

As a solo artist, I released two singles in June/August 2022, “Till I Get Through the Night” and “Mississippi’s Burning,” both written by award winning songwriter Jerry Foster. A full album is expected to be released by year’s end. So, stay tuned for more!
