SERIOUS SONIC BADASSERY
Rock - Soul - Blues. Three fundamental sounds that new power trio, Fortune Child, blend and mold to create serious sonic badassery. Over the course of one year, Christian Powers (lead vocals/drums), Buddy Crump (guitarist), and Jon Ward (bassist) have begun to redefine the Rock genre while still holding true to their roots. Boasting powerful leads, long jams, and a genre-bending sound, the band is carving a path of its own with the guidance and experience of engineer Ben McLeod and legendary producer/engineer Kevin Elson (Journey / Mr. Big / Lynyrd Skynyrd).
In the short time that they've been together, Fortune Child has already taken to the stage with the likes of The Black Crowes, Cedric Burnside, Shovels & Rope, All Them Witches, King Buffalo, Jared James Nichols, Tuk Smith and many more. Along with their on-stage accomplishments, the group has done just as much off stage. Fortune Child won the 2022 Great Atlantic Southern Rock Revival spotlight presented by iHeart Radio and Planet Radio, landing them a slot on the southeast's newest Rock festival of the year. The press quickly latched on to the release of their debut album, "Close to the Sun", including the Yahoo! News, as well as a handful of radio stations across the US. Followed by the album, Fortune Child released 7 consecutive singles, one of which made its way onto two Spotify editorial playlists - "Modern Blues Rock" and "In the Name of the Blues". This created the foundation to what is now quickly becoming a core fanbase for this young Rock outfit. The Fall of '23 heads west for Fortune Child as they make their way into the southwest market while also returning to main stays such as Georgia, Tennessee, and the Carolinas. 2024 brings a multitude of opportunities, starting off with an invitation from Joe Bonamassa himself to join his Keeping the Blues Alive at Sea cruise in March
