Summerlyn Powers, an old soul with a southern heart, warmly welcomes listeners into her world on a new five-song EP "The Hive". Her stories of loss, love, faith, and friendship meld the southern rock she heard growing up in Fairhope, Ala., with the music she admires from the folk singer-songwriters of the 1970s. Powers began her career in 2012, at age 11, when she released the single “Alabama Kinda Girl.” She recently graduated from Belmont University with a degree in songwritng, has performed at several songwriters festivals, and has co-written songs for Chloe Collins (“Do It for the Plot”) and Michelle Raybourn (“Easier to Leave”). Powers is also part of the Christan Americana band Sammi Accola and the Holy Women.
