Yellow Cavalier
273 plays (29 listeners)
Take four guys in their early twenties with boundless energy. Throw in an infectious alternative pop/rock pedigree with meaty melodies. Add in honest messages that speak from the heart. Chances are these four guys will not only have the ability to be one of today’s top trendsetters, but also impact their generation to immeasurable degrees. In the case of Alan Powell, Chad Graham, Caleb Grimm and Kyle Kupecky, better known as Yellow Cavalier, it’s all about merging entertainment with spiritual truth, weaving modern rock with a groove in its step.
“We’re huge fans of modern pop music, from Maroon 5 to Daniel Bedingfield to OneRepublic,” observes Alan. “All those artists are incredibly melodic and load their songs with catchy hooks, but there’s a certain depth to what they’re doing. We also model ourselves a lot like DC Talk, mostly the melodies that came from the Supernatural CD. Our stage show also mirrors what you might find them doing- the four of us guys as co-front men working the crowd into overdrive with a live backing band to really bring out the rock vibe of our music.”
Outside of referencing that latter act as a mere comparison point, the group just so happens to have roots in Liberty University- the same school where TobyMac, Kevin Max and Michael Tait first met and rose to fame. While the original catalyst for Yellow Cavalier came from Alan writing songs for what was going to be Chad’s solo project, the pair quickly linked up with Caleb and Kyle from Liberty’s vocal group Crimson Flood after a fervent period of prayer.
