    Knock me a kiss  Davina & The Vagabonds  Live @ The Times self-release  
    Davina and the Vagabonds have a terrific retro jazzy-bluesy-New Orleans kind of sound. Davina plays piano (classically trained) and has lead vocals, you get some horns and drums, a stand up bass, and no guitar. Davina's voice reminds me more than a little of a cross between Billie Holliday, Janis Joplin and Betty Boop! ; - ) How much more charming can you get, eh? See them live at BB's Jazz, Blues and Soups this weekend, Saturday June 26!

    Crawfish bay  Grant Sabin  Listen and learn self-release  
    *This track was actually played directly after the other Grant Sabin cut "Fox and the hound", so "Crawfish bay" is out of sequence, here, in this playlist. Sorry!
