The five-piece HELEN DAVIES BAND mostly plays legacy soul music by such artists as Etta James, Janis Joplin, Joe Cocker, Koko Taylor and Big Mama Thornton, newer songs in the same vein from such bands as Tedeschi Trucks, the Black Pumas and Chris Stapleton, and some original music. The music is up-tempo, danceable, punchy and loud. Suitable for bars, concert venues and large stages.
HIGH DEF CHICKS is Helen Davies with keyboardist Dee Cooper and percussionist/drummer Christa Brenan. HDC plays middle of the road baby boomer songs such as Ben E. King's Stand By Me, Johnny Cash's Folsom Prison Blues, and Dolly Parton's Jolene. The music is upbeat, danceable, less punchy and quieter. Suitable for pubs, restaurants and more intimate gatherings.
