DAVINA AND THE
VAGABONDS TO RELEASE
NICOLLET AND
TENTH ON MARCH 25th
Minneapolis, MN – Over the past several years, Davina And
The Vagabonds, have been building an audience around 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.
With a full tour schedule already underway, Davina And
The Vagabonds will release a brand new live album: Nicollet And Tenth
on March 25th.
Normally when an artist announces they are releasing a ‘live
album’ it’s considered a stopgap or throwaway release, not vital to the
artist’s collection. In the case of Nicollet And Tenth, it
couldn’t be any farther from the truth. Davina And The Vagabonds
have built their success on the road, and the two studio albums released by the
group so far have tried to be a reflection of their rollicking focused
performances, clean sound and raging fun.
With the release of Nicollet And Tenth, the band is
giving the listener a front row seat to what has made them popular in the first
place, their live show.
“On the corner of Nicollet and Tenth, in downtown MPLS, lies
a moody jazz club called the Dakota,” Davina remarked. “The Vagabonds and
I have been playing there for over 10 years. It is our second home and we are
welcoming you to come in, grab a drink, and listen to us play our hearts
out to you!”
In 2011, Davina And The Vagabonds 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, which led
to an performance on the famed hit BBC show, Later with Jools
Holland.
