Friday 10/22
Daphne Willis with Mike Droho, Down the Line | Gabe’s | 6:30 p.m. doors, 7:00 show | $8, all ages
When she decided to pursue music, earnest, soulful, acoustic-strummin’ pop singer Daphne Willis didn’t waste any time. At twenty, she taught herself the basics, started playing shows and quickly recorded a demo. Her powerful voice, catchy song-crafting and lyrics beyond her years caught the attention of Nashville-based Vanguard Records, which offered her (now 23) a record deal. Whether touring solo or with her all-star band (imagine the Dave Matthews Band fronted by Corinne Bailey Rae), Daphne always gives it all she’s got, which is quite a lot.
