Detroit’s Queen of the Blues, winner of more than 30 Detroit Music Awards, brings her powerhouse voice and indelible stories to town. Davis has opened for Ray Charles, Gladys Knight, Smokey Robinson, Etta James, Buddy Guy, and Koko Taylor.
“She is the composite of all the major styles of African-American music sans jazz, and is a mash-up of some iconic female singers like Bessie Smith, Big Mama Thornton, and Aretha,” writes a reviewer for Elmore Magazine. “Yes, this is high praise but I’m not kidding.”
