Asetha Power - Singer/Songwriter

Asetha Power is Newfoundland's own Country Eastern singer/songwriter. With a mix of classic country and traditional sounds, and rich with references unique to Newfoundland, Asetha's extensive song collection is an authentic celebration of Atlantic heritage and legacy. As Asetha says,

"I was reared on Old Country and Jesus in Newfoundland. I write about everyday life here and how my faith gets me through. That makes me a Country Eastern Singer."

To celebrate her early years growing up along the shores of Upper Gullies, and to pay tribute to her deepest musical influences, Asetha collaborated with the legendary David Fitz, of The Fables, to create two new albums. While Asetha’s music tends to be a hybrid of Classic Country and Newfoundland traditional music, in this case she took a pure approach to each. “Atlantic Heritage” and “Old Country” are both set for release in June 2024. 

"Atlantic Heritage" is a collection of 13 original songs filled with vibrancy and nostalgia. Dug up from her roots, and ripe for the picking, these songs are one giant ode to a way of life in Newfoundland. There’s no doubt where Asetha’s heart is on this spirited, well-crafted album. These fresh and catchy tunes will have you dancing and singing around the kitchen. Listen now to "Atlantic Heritage"

"Old Country" is a collection of 10 classic country songs. Asetha recorded it in honor of her late mother, Verna, a true Baygirl from Ragged Harbour. "Whether she was cleaning, cooking, knitting or quilting, Mudder was singing", Asetha says. "She had that pure old country sound that’s enough to break your heart." Asetha has said her mom’s soul lives in her voice. Perhaps never more so than in these songs. Listen now to "Old Country"
 
When asked what is next musically for Asetha, she says she’s got a Country Eastern album “on the cook”, meaning she'll be serving it up soon! And, she is writing a faith album. Asetha's late dad loved Elvis singing gospel songs. She is excited to bring that influence to the project. Stay tuned for many more songs from this proud Country Eastern Singer!
