DOWNBEAT MAGAZINE Davina Sowers and the Vagabonds have created a stir on the national music scene with their high-energy live shows, level A musicianship, sharp-dressed professionalism, and Sowers’ commanding stage presence. With influences ranging from Fats Domino and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band to Aretha Franklin and Tom Waits, the band is converting audiences one show at a time, from Vancouver to Miami and across Europe. Much like the music, the story spurns era, expectation, and classification. The often unbelievable, sometimes harrowing, and wholly inspiring journey of Davina Sowers gave birth to her eponymous band Davina and The Vagabonds in 2004. As the tale goes, she grew up in the economically depressed Allegheny town of Altoona, PA, which she now describes as “awesome in the industrial era, but horrible for high school.” She was adopted by her much older stepfather when he was in his 80s; he passed away when she was just 13. Through him and his Edison phonograph, she first heard The Ink Spots, Sidney Bechet, Louis Armstrong and Louis Prima, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and many others. “Great man. He was my angel and still is,” she says. On her own, she vividly recalls hours in front of the record player where she religiously spun Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and Simon and Garfunkel records belonging to her folk singer mom. To this day, Davina still refers to music as “my first and eternal love.” Despite early dalliances with classical piano and guitar, she developed a heavy drug habit in high school, which morphed into heroin dependency, left her homeless, sent her in and out of jail, and brought on all manner of trouble. Kicking dope on the streets, she “got clean, started the band, and worked [her] ass off every day since.” Davina and the Vagabonds shine every time they play. To date, they’ve performed in forty-five states, twelve European countries, and two Canadian provinces. Not to mention, they’ve earned feverish acclaim from the Chicago Tribune, NPR, and more in addition to performing on BBC’s international favorite late-night program Later… With Jools Holland and appearing on PBS’s Bluegrass Underground. https://www.exitzerojazzfestival.com/artists/2026/3/9/hoppin-john-orchestra-carneys-main-room-sunday-may-17 monthly 0.5 2026-03-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c004cfd2487fd9009b8eec3/4d99dba2-d3ef-4fb1-b3cd-bb6c38e836f8/BDA434B9-23C8-4362-B505-E7121729AF25.jpeg Artists - HOPPIN' JOHN ORCHESTRA / SUNDAY, MAY 17 / Carney's Main Room, 4:30 & 6:20 PM - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.exitzerojazzfestival.com/artists/2026/1/18/qbco8qna503cvp430cn8je9oojoxtn monthly 0.5 2026-03-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c004cfd2487fd9009b8eec3/d39b77d3-ce1b-42d0-8bfd-d76adb27103a/2026FBartist_HANAHAN.jpg Artists - SARAH HANAHAN / SATURDAY, MAY 16 / CARNEY'S OTHER ROOM, 1:00 & 3:00 PM - Make it stand out is a dynamic and soulful alto saxophonist rapidly emerging as one of the most compelling new voices in jazz. A graduate of both the Jackie McLean Institute of Jazz and The Juilliard School, Hanahan fuses the deep-rooted swing and bebop traditions with a bold, modern intensity—an approach that reflects her rigorous training and fearless artistic vision.

Her debut album, Among Giants (2024)—featuring Marc Cary, Nat Reeves, and Jeff “Tain” Watts—garnered widespread acclaim, earning a 5-star review and a place among DownBeat’s Top Albums of 2024. In 2025, Hanahan was named DownBeat’s #1 Rising Star Alto Saxophonist, affirming her status as one of the leading voices of her generation.

The EXIT ZERO HAVANA JAZZ FESTIVAL dates are arrival in Havana on Tuesday, January 27, and departing Havana on Monday, February 2, 2026. Based on previous experience, we prefer to arrive just after the program is underway and depart the morning after closing ceremonies. A detailed schedule of events has not yet been published but will be forthcoming. The 2026 Havana Jazz Festival will mark the 6th year of collaboration with Exit Zero Jazz and Cuba’s largest and longest running musical event. Each year marks an increased connection between Cuban origin artists performing in Cape May, as well as Exit Zero attendees visiting Cuba to attend the Havana Jazz Festival. Our most recent visit to the 2025 festival featured more than 125 world renowned artists and groups from the United States, Europe, Cuba, and other Latin American countries performing at various established music venues throughout Havana. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c004cfd2487fd9009b8eec3/a67081f1-ba15-460a-868e-4e0b4d34c6c4/IMG_5936.jpeg Exit Zero Jazz Goes To Havana https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c004cfd2487fd9009b8eec3/1566148520277-DP3WEFI43FDFZ9ZXIKBU/DCXhiUrRSTWzCuK3nwNwLw.jpg Exit Zero Jazz Goes To Havana - OLD HAVANA, A UNESCO World Heritage Site On our first full day in Havana, we will enjoy a city tour of various points of interest, including a walking tour of Old Havana, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most unique destinations in the Caribbean.
