Rickie Lee Tanner - Lead Vocals / Rhythm Guitar

I've been singing and writing songs pretty much as long as I can remember. I've been blessed to get the chance to perform to crowds numbering in the thousands, and shared the stage with a number of signed recording artists. I'm really excited about fronting Powder Keg, these guys are all stellar musicians and writers. I can't wait to see where this road will lead, and I can't wait to share the journey with all of my friends, family and fans.

Lead Guitar / Vocals

I've been playing guitar for over 20 years and am a graduate of Musicians Institute (GIT) in Los Angeles. I've been a part of many bands over the years, especially around the St Louis area. Highlights: Played at the Troubador in Los Angeles (with future country star Rockie Lynne); s hared the stage with Chuck Berry; opened for Warrant with local cover band Ivory Tiger.

I've written lots of songs and have released a CD and have had an original song played on the radio. I've played mainly rock music until joining with Rickie Lee in a local country cover band and am now enjoying combining my rock influences with country and doing original material with him and Powderkeg.

Songwriter influences: Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Police, John Hiatt, Peter Mayer, Keith Urban

Dale Williams

Harmonica / Keyboard / Guitar / Vocals

I have lived on the Mississippi River for most of my life. I am an avid hunter and fisherman, and have been referred to as the "Fishin' Musician”. Parent-mandated piano lessons got me started down this road, despite the fact that I fought it every inch of the way. In my teenage years the piano theory helped me teach myself guitar. The harmonica has always held an attraction for me, and I've been packin' one around for most of my life. Really didn't get the "hang” of it, til about ten years ago; been ridin' it hard ever since!

My songwriting is inspired by the beauty of nature and the power of love, with a streak of redneck thrown in to keep things interesting.

I am very excited at the prospect of these five individuals, all songwriters, singers and excellent musicians, sharing a common dream. The collective professionalism and intensity are contagious, and I'm proud to be part of it.

I'll start off by saying that I'm a gear head. Anything with a motor and wheels is cool. Which leads me to how I met Rick. Rick came to a car club meeting to talk to us about improving our web site. As we talked he mentioned that he is a singer. Well I'm also a music gear head, so we got to talking about music and told me the name of the group and where he played. I went to a car cruise (1st Friday in Fenton) and his band just happened to be playing the same venue that hosted the car cruise. So I got my first chance to see him perform and was quite impressed. As a matter of fact I wanted to be in his band, but I had to wait my turn, which eventually lead to an audition and I got the gig! Although my music background is mostly from original rock bands, I've also played in cover bands too. I've played Elvis, Psychedelic, Garage, Country, Jazz and Blues. I enjoy most types of music and have recently grown very fond of traditional Bluegrass. I'm asking Santa for a 5 string banjo this X-mas. I've been pretty good this year, so I think it will happen. I look forward to getting out there and performing for ya'll. We plan on "Delivering the goods" Amen!
