Davina and Patty - Airs March 4th

Davina and the Vagabonds Live from Minnesota
Singer Davina Sowers showcases her formidable growl and velvety purr to a delighted audience at Patrick's Cabaret in Minneapolis on May 10, 2014. Known on the national blues scene for their high-energy live shows, Davina and the Vagabonds' success comes from a combination of their snappy original songwriting, sharp-dressed professionalism, and Davina's commanding stage presence. These sassy vocals and tight horn arrangements were recorded by Tom Garneau for KFAI's Minneculture.

Patty and the Buttons Live from MinnesotaFormed with a love and admiration of hot rhythm and swing music in 2008 by accordionist and vocalist Patrick "Patty" Harison. His love of music is equally paired with a dedicated passion to bring New Orleans Traditional Jazz to all. The band's eclectic repertoire also includes Gypsy Melodies, Dust Bowl Ballads, Jug Favorites, and the 1930's Popular Songbook. Their blending of accordion, clarinet, guitar, and bass is light and swift, but remains beautifully melancholy and lush. Recorded live in 2012 at the Red Stag Supperclub for KFAI by Tom Garneau.
