exclusive listening party

joyann parker "life lines"

Wednesday, March 11th

Doors: 6 PM
Show: 7 PM

Be the first to get the record and hang out with us on a live radio show as we play the record and tell you stories. Live on The Happy Trucker Show in Cambridge, MN at The Listening Room. Price includes woodfired pizza and a drink. Includes a CD and digital download, vinyl available for an additional $15.

You'll be the first to get the record and hear it played live on the radio while Joyann and members of the band tell stories about the songs and behind the scenes glimpses. May include a live performance as well.

I am so excited to get my new album, “Life Lines,” out into the world on March 27. It does take a village for independent artists like myself to pay for production, mastering, photography, videography, PR, marketing and so much more, so I need YOUR help! I'm hoping to raise at least $20,000 or more to pay down the debt we have incurred in the production, which isn't all of it but will take a big chunk out of it.

My fans have always come through for me in the past and helped fund three other records. By ordering the digital, CD or vinyl album or maybe having the band come to your house for a special event, you're helping get these new songs out of Wisconsin and into the rest of the world.

Davina Sowers and the Vagabonds have made a name for themselves on the national and international music scene with high-energy live shows, top-tier musicianship, and Davina Sowers’ commanding stage presence.

Formed in 2004, Davina and the Vagabonds grew out of Sowers’ unlikely and hard-won journey, shaped by early exposure to classic jazz and blues, a love of rock and folk, and a fierce devotion to music as her lifelong calling. Today, the band shines everywhere they play, having performed in forty-five states, twelve European countries, and two Canadian provinces.
