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.

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.

giving the listener a front row seat to what has made them popular in the first

“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!”
