Celebrate the season with a sassy holiday concert that blends blues, swing, and New Orleans Jazz. With a new spin on an old sound, Davina and The Vagabonds have created quite a stir on the international music scene with their high-energy live shows. Davina Sowers has been compared to Etta James, Amy Winehouse, Janis Joplin, Billie Holiday, and even Betty Boop. This rollicking quintet melds 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 are novel to both blues and jazz worlds and are sure to leave you feeling merry and bright!
