Arianna Powell (Olivia Rodrigo) EarthQuaker Sessions - "Drains To Ocean" | EarthQuaker Devices

Here at EQD HQ, we generally love it loud. Gives us some big power chords, bashing drums, and throbbing bass, and we are a collective of happy pedal builders. But sometimes it's good to relax and take a moment to appreciate beauty. So, for EarthQuaker Sessions #47, we offer the peaceful, beautiful playing of guitarist Arianna Powell. You may have recently seen the talented touring and session guitarist and solo artist on a little awards show called The Grammys, playing behind 2022 Billboard Woman of the Year singer Olivia Rodrigo. Arianna has also toured or performed with Dua Lipa, Halsey, Nick Jonas, and others.
For her session, Arianna performed her 2020 single, the pastoral, delicate single "Drains To Ocean." Using her signature white Gibson SG and a Fender Princeton Reverb amp with tonal assistance from EQD's Sea Machine Super Chorus, the Avalanche Run Stereo Reverb and Delay, and an Electro-Harmonix POG2. Arianna's touring pedalboard also has EQD's Spatial Delivery envelope filter, a Hoof fuzz, the Afterneath reverb, and pedals from Strymon, JHS, and Keeley.
So, sit back, close your eyes or stare at her hands while basking in the calming aural glow of Arianna's perfect, clean fingerpicking, tasteful single note runs, excellent chord choices and voicings, and her dynamic beguiling melody.
Arianna is currently out with Olivia Rodrigo on the singer's completely sold-out "Sour Tour." So, you may not get to see her live any time soon if you don't already have a ticket. But luckily for all of us, "Drains to Oceans" is available on all streaming platforms and wonderfully presented here on the new EarthQuaker Sessions channel.
