Hailing from New York City, Kirk Powers stands as an accomplished bass player with an
extensive track record of appearances on numerous recordings, tours, clinics, and various events. His upbringing in the diverse musical landscape of the city exposed him to a wide range of styles.
Having contributed to RIAA-Certified Gold and Platinum records, Kirk's impressive portfolio boasts collaborations with notable figures such as Roger Nichols (Steely Dan Producer), Deborah Gibson (Atlantic Records), Casey James (American Idol), American Tears (Columbia Records), Dave
Lebolt (Keyboards with David Bowie, Billy Joel), Steve Hass (Manhattan Transfer), David Baker (Sony), Jellybean Benitez (Madonna), George Lynch (Dokken, Lynch Mob), Derek St. Holmes (Ted Nugent, Brad Whitford), Lance Lopez (Supersonic Blues Machine), Redd Volkaert (Grammy-winning guitarist), and many more.
Additionally, Kirk completed two global tours alongside pop sensation Debbie Gibson (Deborah Gibson), contributing to video and record sales that garnered him a few multi-platinum and gold discs. His diverse credits extend to broadcast commercials for Lincoln/Mercury, the Island of Jamaica, and a series of other radio and TV advertisements.
His musical journey has graced live and recorded television programs,
including iconic shows like The Wonder Years, the American Music Awards, Late Night TV, Arsenio Hall Show, Entertainment Tonight, HBO Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary, and various productions by the legendary Dick Clark. Notably, Kirk has opened shows for an impressive lineup of artists, including Foreigner, Robert Plant, Peter Frampton, Foghat, Bon Jovi, Phil Collins, Bee Gees, Belinda Carlisle, UFO, Led Zeppelin, and more.
In 2015, Kirk embarked on a new chapter, establishing his own studio and diving into recording material with Dangerous Guitars. Simultaneously, he has been captivating audiences internationally and locally.
As of 2022 and 2024, Kirk is proudly back on the stage with pop star, multi #1 Hit songwriter, actress, and Guinness World Record holder, Debbie Gibson. First up in 2024 is Debbie's 35 Anniversary 80's Cruise show to Curacao and Aruba
Beyond the spotlight, Kirk has been a significant contributor to the evolution of Alleva Coppolo Basses and Guitars, lending his insights to design features, ergonomics, and pioneering research in electrical pre-amp and magnetic pickup technology. His influence is immortalized in his signature models, the Alleva Coppolo KBP4 and KBP5 basses.
Currently calling a quaint town north of Austin, TX home, Kirk Powers channels his passion as an animal and dog advocate in
his free time and playing bass for his local church, The Garden.
