Joanna
Connor
website >>
$10
The Chicago Sun Times called her “a powerhouse guitarist with a sense of rock
dynamics – her playing has a fire that is free of self-indulgence”.
"From the root to the fruit, from the seed to the flower," Joanna Connor
presents an intense, high-energy, rhythmic, virtuostic, guitar-driven musical
experience. Pushing the envelope of the blues by combining funk, rock and world
beat, audiences are compelled to get on their feet. Joanna's soulful voice and
guitar mastery has received accolades from publications such as Guitar Player,
Guitar World, The Village Voice, Playboy Magazine, Billboard, Downbeat, Relix,
and most major newspapers. She has shared the stage and toured with Jimmy Page,
Buddy Guy, Otis Rush, Robert Cray, Poi Dog Pondering, Luther and Bernard
Allison, Albert Collins, and Los Lobos.

Davina
& the Vagabonds
website >>
$8
Sowers is a classically trained pianist, originally from Florida, who now
calls Minnesota her home. With years of experience in piano performance, she can
belt it out with the grit of Joplin or bring down the house with melodic
phrasing that reminds one of Bonnie Raitt. Sowers says she grew up listening to
jazz standards on her father’s old Victrola record player. “The rasp and the
tonal quality put a twisted edge on those standards,” she says. She earned her
music degree in music composition and has since shared the stage with Little
Feat, Buddy Guy, Elvin Bishop, The Lamont Cranston Band, and The Blues Brothers,
among others. Check out Davina's MySpace
