DAVINA SOWERS / VOCALS / PIANO
Davina Sowers, hit the Midwest scene in February, 2005 and she hasn\'t looked back since. It didn\'t take her long after moving here from Key West, FL to start making a name for herself. With great vocals and piano, she commands attention on stage and leaves everyone smiling. Davina has been performing since the age of 5, with support of an extremely musically involved family.Sowers is a classically trained pianist with years of experience in piano performance. Sowers made a big splash at Duluth\'s Bayfront Blues Festival in 2006 and 2007: Having the highest sales in Cds Both years.
She has been called the \"hardest-working blueswoman in frigid Minnesota . \"Two things remain consistent at all her shows, though: her throaty but cushiony voice, which has a sort of hard-mattress comfort to it that\'s part Bonnie Raitt, Etta James and a little Amy Winehouse, and her band\'s rollicking New Orleans flavor, driven home by dueling horn players and a bayou-thick standup bass. \" (CHRIS RIEMENSCHNEIDER, Star Tribune)
Davina has already shared the stage with Little Feat, Buddy Guy, Elvin Bishop, The Lamont Cranston Band, The Blues Brothers,Joe Bonamassa, Nellie McKay, Irma Thomas and James Hunter ,among others, at venues such as House of Blues in Altantic City, NJ and the Bayfront Blues Festival in Duluth, MN.
