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!”
