They played Kuumbwa for the first time early last year, and later, had the crowd on its feet and dancing at the Monterey Jazz Festival. Destined to be a club favorite, R&B/swing/blues-throwback group Davina and the Vagabonds have garnered a reputation as the busiest band in the Twin Cities. Vocalist Davina Sowers has been dominating the Midwest scene with her deeply powerful vocals since 2005. With a sound that’s equal parts Bonnie Raitt, Etta James and Amy Winehouse, she’s augmented by the band’s vibrant horn arrangements and rollicking back-beats, plus the great tunes from their latest album, 2012’s Black Cloud.
