Courtney and David met in 2014 in Spokane, WA.\u00a0 They combined their musical talents to form the duo, Courtney & Company, focusing on their shared love of traditional folk, country classics and modern acoustic music.\u00a0 Courtney’s lower female register, similar to Patsy Cline’s, is complimented only by David’s crafty harmonies and jazzy fingerstyle guitar chops.\u00a0 Their sound could be compared with the likeness of Tuck and Patti, but with the added depth of the harp guitar’s sub basses, David’s vocals and Courtney’s soulful approach to contemporary music.<\/p>\n
They currently tour regionally around the Pacific northwest and are always working new songs into their set.<\/p>\n

David Powell’s musical journey began at the piano and carried him through trumpet in his high school’s concert and pep bands.\u00a0 \u00a0He picked up electric bass guitar just before graduation but it wasn’t long before he found himself drawn to fingerstyle acoustic guitar, inspired by virtuosos like Leo Kottke and Stephen Bennett. He went on to study classical guitar in college, but it was composing his own fingerstyle pieces and collaborating with other musicians that truly captured his creative passion. A chance encounter with Michael Hedges’s harp guitar playing opened his eyes to the instrument’s extraordinary possibilities \u2014 a discovery that would ultimately set the course for his life’s work.<\/p>\n
