About Me

Hello and thanks for visiting Temporary Power! I am Mike Ward and as a true guitar aficionado; I play guitar every day. Since I have such a great love for the guitar and the millions of voicings the instrument has, I feel Temporary Power should be a music project that explores the essence of rock guitar. As musicians we feel this music is hard to get tired of because there is always great and new things to learn; the guitar gives up its secrets only a little bit at a time. I have found that fans of rock music like YOU are simply the best people in all of the world; you're loyal and you love and care about the music and getting to know the songs and the musicians that create it more than any other fans of any other music genre combined. Because of you, Temporary Power exists, so thank you for that. Everybody knows the music business is so strange and a weird system designed to make everybody rich other than the musicians doing all the work, so thanks for your support whether you are getting a cd or even a song at a time with digital downloads. It all counts. Temporary Power is a band open to new musical ideas and musicians that want to be a part of what the music is all about. Today's passionate community of artists and music lovers need to be truly moved by the music, so we go to great lengths to find new imagination fuel and work on the music until it is moving and inspiring and then make the production on the cds as good as we possibly can. Temporary Power is modern and even adventurous but has a classic feel with the focus on having a cool overall sound and the ultimate goal of each album becoming a cool listening experience. I can promise it is of paramount importance for Temporary Power to meet and exceed your expectations as a rock band.
