DAVINA AND THE VAGABONDS ANNOUNCE
NOVEMBER RUN OF THE NORTHEAST
Tour
Kicks Off At Buffalo's Iron Works On November 4
Minneapolis, MN -- Davina and The Vagabonds has announced
a run of the Northeastern U.S. that commences in Buffalo, NY on November 4 and
will wrap in Cleveland on the 15th. Over the past few years, the band has
created a stir across the globe. Their shows are filled with New Orleans
charm, Memphis soul swagger, dark theatrical moments that evoke Kurt Weill, and
tender gospel passages. Singer/pianist Davina Sowers' presence is indelible,
while her voice defies simple categorization. Evoking comparisons as diverse as
Etta James, Amy Winehouse, Billie Holiday and Betty Boop, she is simply a true
original, presenting a personal vision that celebrates a century of American
music.
In front of the upcoming run, Sowers' shares, "I am
unbelievably thrilled to be back in the Northeast this coming November. It’s a
perfect time with the leaves changing and crisp air. I was born in
Pennsylvania, and often need my dose of the regions music loving, hardworking,
and no nonsense way of living. It’s been long overdue. So, here we come hitting
six states in eleven days. Get ready!”
In 2011, Davina released her first full length, all
original album Black Cloud. It was named one of the ten best releases
of the year by their hometown daily the Minneapolis Star Tribune, and awarded 4
½ stars from Downbeat Magazine. Their next release in 2014, Sunshine,
hit number 13 in the Billboard Blues Chart, and led to an performance on the
famed hit BBC show, Later with Jools Holland.
This rollicking quintet is held together by Sowers’ along
with acoustic bass, drums, and a spicy trumpet and trombone horn section. The
group’s focused, clean sound and emphasis on acoustic instruments is novel to
both blues and jazz worlds. With influences ranging from Fats Domino and
the Preservation Hall Jazz Band to Aretha Franklin and Tom Waits, they are
converting audiences one show at a time around the globe. Davina and The
Vagabonds are represented by Intrepid Artists Int'l.
