Davina & The Vagabonds

New spin on an old sound, Davina and The Vagabonds have created a stir on the international music scene with their high-energy live shows and commanding stage presence. Davina Sowers has been compared to Etta James, Amy Winehouse, Janis Joplin, Billie Holiday and Betty Boop, but comparisons don't suffice: she is a true original. Bringing you 100 years of American music and Davina's originals, which lend themselves to the American Songbook, the band brings edgy nostalgia to older generations and fresh new music to younger ears. This rollicking quintet is held together by Sowers' keyboard playing, 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, and sets the show closer to New Orleans than to Chicago.

Davina & The Vagabonds will perform LIVE at the Pipestone Performing Arts Center on Friday, November 24th, with the showtime starting at 7:30 p.m. Tickets can be purchased by visiting the PPAC website at www.pipestoneperformingartscenter.com, or by calling the PAC Box Office at 507-825-2020 or 877-722-2787 (Tuesday through Friday, 12pm-4pm).
