Third Tuesday Dance Night with Davina and the Vagabonds

Tuesday, January 20, 2009 - 6:30pm
7:00pm

The Cedar continues the Third Tuesday Dance Night series in style with Davina and the Vagabonds. Third Tuesday is a new monthly event for couple dancing featuring live music and the great, open dance floor of The Cedar.

Davina and the Vagabonds will get things cookin' with their melting pot of blues and jazz, New Orleans style. Davina has been called the "hardest-working blueswoman in frigid Minnesota." "Two things remain consistent at all her shows, though: her throaty but cushiony voice, which has a sort of hard-mattress comfort to it that's part Bonnie Raitt, Etta James and a little Amy Winehouse, and her band's rollicking New Orleans flavor, driven home by dueling horn players and a bayou-thick standup bass.

Davina has already shared the stage with Little Feat, Buddy Guy, Elvin Bishop, The Lamont Cranston Band, The Blues Brothers,Joe Bonamassa, Nellie McKay, Irma Thomas and James Hunter, among others, at venues such as House of Blues in Altantic City, NJ and the Bayfront Blues Festival in Duluth, MN.

The Cedar has hosted participatory dance events regularly since its inception 20 years ago. This past summer the sprung, wooden floor at the venue was re-finished for the first time since The Cedar opened its doors in March, 1989.

Tickets available at the door for $8 per person.
