Battery Point performs at the PEI Music Awards in November, 2007.
This rock n' roll quartet, made up of four seasoned musicians, has quickly turned heads in the east coast of Canada. Its honest and gritty form of true rock music has propelled the band to the top of the music scene.
Charlottetown, PEI native Dennis Ellsworth (formerly of The Rude Mechanicals), and Stephenville, Nfld's Bruce White (of the Korea-based band A Taste of Dinomite) are the band's main songwriters. Ellsworth and White teamed up with Charlottetown brothers, Craig and Brady MacDonald (of the hard rock band, Chamberlane) to form Battery Point. With Ellsworth's strong vocal and song writing skills combined with White's ability to pen catchy pop hooks, they provide a wealth of material for the band to draw from. The MacDonald brothers, completing the quartet, lay a solid foundation as the band's rhythm section.
In only its first year, Battery Point has been nominated for an East Coast Music Award, multiple PEI Music Awards and performed the main stage at the Prince Edward Island Festival of Lights. The band is putting the finishing touches on their debut album with multi-platinum producer/engineer, Paul Milner, who has worked with such artists as Keith Richards, David Bowie, Sting and Queensryche.
