Davina & The Vagabonds: Retro Cool

The sound of Minneapolis-based blues quintet Davina and the Vagabonds is driven by New Orleans horns and the salty purr of vocalist/pianist Davina Sowers, whose voice has earned her comparisons to Amy Winehouse, Etta James and Bessie Smith. Her genre-busting band reinterprets the vintage sounds of golden age Americana in 21st-century HD, with a swinging swagger. John Hammer of "Blue Monday" describes them as "a hot jazz-blues-cabaret-soul-lounge-rock that warms the soul and just plain makes you want to dance." Now they bring their white-hot retro act to the Roswell Cultural Arts Center in Atlanta.
