With her vast repertoire of cover songs, and growing collection of originals, Tina Powell carves out her own niche in today’s musical landscape. Tina is excited to be an active member in new soft-rock/jazz-pop band, Heart Lake and to be currently be sitting as the current Rhodes player for Sunshine Makers. She is also thrilled to be playing in newly developed cover band, Tuna Fish. Performing solo or in a project, Tina is one of the must-see singer songwriters in the Forest City.
