SOWERS AND THE VAGABONDS have created a stir on the national music scene with

and Sowers’ commanding stage presence. With influences ranging from Fats Domino
and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band to Aretha Franklin and Tom Waits, the band
is converting audiences one show at a time, from Vancouver to Miami and across
Europe. In 2011 Davina released her first full length, all original album Black
Cloud. It was named one of the 10 best releases of the year by the Minneapolis
Star & Tribune and awarded 4 ½ stars from Downbeat Magazine. Their next
release in 2014, Sunshine, hit number 13 in the Billboard Blues Chart.
