| Band Members | Dr. Mary Crowell (keyboard, vocals; band leader): Mary started as a solo act. When she returned for the second year at the annual GaFilk banquet, she added George and Brian on bass and drums. It has snowballed into the group as it is today. Mary currently teaches at Calhoun Community College in Decatur, Alabama. She is a member of the band Three Weird Sisters, the duo Birds of a Feather and has recently released her first solo CD, Courting My Muse.
Jodi Krangle (vocals, percussion): Jodi hails from Toronto, Canada. She is the editor of The Muse’s Muse, an online resource and community for songwriters. Jodi recently launched a new business, voiceoversandvocals.com. She performs with her band, Urban Tapestry.
George Powell (bass, tenor sax, flute, backup vocals): George does session work and has performed with bands that include Three Weird Sisters. Although he has a music degree, he turned to the dark side in the mid 1980s and went to law school. George practices law by day and teaches at the Gwinnett School of Music in his free time. He and Teresa live in a house full of instruments. Watch for the kilt.
Teresa Powell (vocals, bass, percussion): Teresa is a member of the bands Three Weird Sisters and Birds of a Feather. She excels at arranging harmonies and is the only member of PIWM who looks good wearing a snake. It is a little-known fact that she is quite capable with brass instruments, but we keep her busy singing.
David Rood (trumpet, backup vocals): David plays with the jazz combo After Hours and has worked with Three Weird Sisters and the Atlanta Shakespeare Company. He helps out with transcription and arrangements, and his trumpet solos will curl your toes!
Brian Richardson (drums, band emcee): Brian lives under the stars many miles from Metro Atlanta. Brian has done session recording for local artists and is responsible for the closed-circuit television programming at Dragoncon. Brian’s special brand of genius wit makes him the perfect band emcee.
Andrew Powell (alto sax, vocals): Andrew joined in 2006, creating an enthusiastic horn section. Steeped in music since he was a small tot, Andrew is currently a music major at Georgia State University. He lends smooth and animated vocals to a number of songs in the PIWM set.
Carly Gibson (guitar, vocals): Joining the band in 2007, Carly is the newest member of PIWM. Already rocking a mean guitar at the tender age of 15, this petite musician also sports a big, lush voice. She is also a member of the rock band, Jaded June. One of Carly’s future goals is to attend the Berkelee School of Music after she graduates from high school. We think she has what it takes!
