Empowered

An energetic and Christ-filled, passionate Christian rock band with a classic rock sound for THE Classic Rock!

It all began after having played the rock circuit in New Orleans for years in an all original secular rock band. Years later, in 1995, DiChiara was born again and became a member of at the time Trinity Christian Center, and now, Healing Place Church in Baton Rouge. Therein laid a quandary…what to do with the music that was still burgeoning within?

Empowered was originally born in 1998 by DiChiara. After a first recording, changes of band members, and a long hiatus, Empowered took its ministry to the next level with their 2012 CD release of “Soul Cry,” recorded in Nashville, TN. Multi-Grammy Award winner mix engineer Jim Dineen of Nashville was added to the mix, and it was mastered by Erik Wolf at Wolf Mastering in Nashville as well. The Soul Cry disc has tracks that range from guitar-driven rock styles to soft ballads that will stir the soul.

Now in 2019, Empowered has released its new EP titled, “Three Days.” Recorded in Nashville by Mikey Howard (7th Time Down, Love Journey Music), Mixed by the incredible Ainslie Grosser, Robert Venable, and Caleb Fisher, and mastered by Troy Glessner of S.P.E.C.T.R.E. mastering in Seattle, Wa, this EP touches on today’s world with a message from Jesus. This disc has tracks that are CCM (Listen to the Children) that speaks as well as tracks that will rock your soul and touch your spirit.

Empowered is an original Christian rock band based out of Baton Rouge, LA, that wants to empower others with His message. After all, Jesus is the Rock!

The band has made a pledge to the Lord to play Christian music in His honor, and to “empower” people with God’s message. If one life is saved for eternity, this band has done its job. The stage is set for music with passion. Let His message be heard! Rockin’ 4 Jesus!

Lighting and staging would have to be in-house for event planner, as well as sound if built in on premise. Empowered does have the capacity to bring in sound with the band for spaces up to 2000 people. We also travel with our own sound engineer, stage manager, and merch tech. We do have a performance rider available upon request.
