Al Perkins, Kristine Arnold, Cactus Moser, Gary Link and Leonard Arnold are Nashville's Hi Power Band

It'S a rare thing when the stars line up to bring together musicians of this magnitude. Rarer still is that they all thought it was a great idea to come out of the studio and on to the road to dedicate time playing classic blues, rock and R&B songs at real life events like yours. When this group gets together, get ready for jaw-dropping entertainment
that is fun, energetic, and has the crowd totally in the moment.

A member of the Texas Steel Guitar Hall of Fame, Al Perkins has also been honored with three Grammy awards, the 2007 Texas Musician of the Year Award, and his own shining star on Opryland’s Star Walk. The reason is simple: He’s the best there is. Which is why he has been in high demand throughout his brilliant career. Al has played with some of the greatest artists in American music including Bob Dylan, The Eagles, Emmylou Harris, Dan Fogelberg, Dwight Yoakam, Gram Parsons, Dolly Parton, James Taylor, The Rolling Stones, Stephen Stills’ Manassas, Tori Amos, and over a hundred other music stars you’ve heard of. HiPOWER is his brainchild.

Kristine Arnold got a call from Al in the very beginning to see if she wanted to be center stage with the band as lead female vocalist. Kristine, along with her sister, Janis Oliver, formed The Sweethearts of the Rodeo, which was nominated eleven times for CMA’s best duo award. Now, she brings vocal passion and power to the group, mesmerizing crowds with her stage presence and incredible vocal style.

Cactus Moser, although best known as the founder of the twice Grammy nominated group, Highway 101, has a lesser known but just as astounding accomplishment: he is four-time winner of Modern Drummer reader polls! An extraordinary drummer, Cactus has played with Johnny Rivers, Firefall, Jennifer Warnes, Steve Taylor, Phil Keaggy and even Rodney Dangerfield. But he gets plenty of respect! He is a four-time ACM and CMA winner and an award winning songwriter with ASCAP. Most importantly, he regularly brings crowds to a screaming frenzy with his drum solos.

Although he is probably best known for touring and recording with John Kay and Steppenwolf, and with Rita Coolidge, Gary Link’s resume is long and distinguished. He’s played bass for bands since the 70s including David Werner, Mark Doyle and Joe Whiting and the All-star Band, the Buddy Grealy Band, Andy Pratt, The Dogs and Dokken among others.

When Kristine is ready to sing a duet, she turns to her husband, Leonard Arnold. Together they bring an unmatched chemistry to songs that bring the house down. A veteran of the Austin, Texas music scene, Leonard joins in on vocals and guitar. He toured and recorded with the likes of Michael Murphey, Jerry Jeff Walker, Steven Fromholtz, and Texas legend, Rusty Wier. He also teamed with Richard Bowden in “Blue Steel,” a band famous for touring with the Eagles.

When this group takes the stage, count on a stunning array of styles. Hi POWER doesn’t just sing the songs. Your senses will tell you that they have lived them. Hearing a bar band play a classic Rolling Stones song is one thing, but hearing a guy who actually played steel guitar with the Stones is something entirely different.
The band’s energy is infectious, and with an extra dose of humor, dancing, and audience participation, every event is an action packed journey!
