Davina and the Vagabonds to Appear at Texas Tech

November 3, 2022

The 16th season of the Presidential Lecture & Performance Series continues with a blues-jazz quintet.

WHAT: Texas Tech University's Presidential Lecture & Performance Series will host Davina & The Vagabonds

WHEN: 7 p.m. Thursday (Nov. 10)

WHERE: The Allen Theatre, inside the Student Union Building (SUB) at 1502 Akron Ave.

EVENT: A new spin on an old sound, Davina & The Vagabonds brings 100 years of American music along with Davina Sowers' originals, which lend themselves to the American Songbook. The band brings edgy nostalgia to older generations and fresh new music to younger ears. This sweet and spicy quintet is held together by Sowers' keyboard playing, with acoustic bass, drums and a trumpet and trombone section. The group's focused, clean sound and emphasis on acoustic instruments is novel to both the blues and jazz worlds that most would associate with New Orleans.

Davina & The Vagabonds will have a 90-minute set without an intermission, followed by an audience meet and greet and CD signing.

General admission tickets for the public are $20. Texas Tech students are admitted for free with a valid student ID.

Texas Tech University

A new era of excellence is dawning at Texas Tech University as it stands on the cusp of being one of the nation's premier research institutions.

Research and enrollment numbers are at record levels, which cement Texas Tech's commitment to attracting and retaining quality students. In fall 2020, the university achieved a goal more than a decade in the making, reaching a total student population of more than 40,000. In 2018, the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education again placed Texas Tech among its top doctoral universities in the nation in the “Very High Research Activity” category. Texas Tech is one of 94 public institutions nationally and 131 overall to achieve this prestigious recognition.

Quality students need top-notch faculty. Texas Tech is home to a diverse, highly revered pool of educators who excel in teaching, research and service. The university strives to foster an environment that celebrates student accomplishment above all else. Texas Tech is large enough to provide the best in facilities and academics but prides itself on being able to focus on each student individually.

The momentum for excellence at Texas Tech has never been greater.
