Soulful sisters Daughters of Davis have won the hearts of fans across the U.K. and beyond since trading the comforts of home for a never-ending tour in 2011.
Since, they’ve taken their stylish blend of folk and soul across the U.K. and Europe, and toured opening for Eels, Sam Bailey, Rebecca Ferguson and Peter Andre, they have released two acclaimed studio albums, 2012’s To The Water and 2014’s British Soul, and documented their journey in the DVD Where Do We Go? Their forthcoming third release, Not Playing The Game, sees them championing an inclusive image of beauty and vision.
Daughters of Davis are Hampshire sisters Fern and Adrienne Davis. In 2011, the duo stepped out in faith to take their music to the world: Selling their cars, painting houses and braving endless car boot sales, they gathered enough money for a second-hand campervan and hit the road and now they return to the Liverpool Empire on March 8th as support to Peter Andre.
Their story and songs have also won the sisters the support of companies as diverse as Farida Guitars and the Caravan Club, who helped arrange a brand-new Elddis Motorhome for the band when their original vehicle was written off! More recently, Daughters of Davis have received a grant from Help Musicians UK (formerly the Musician’s Benevolent Fund), helping them to cover the cost of touring. It is through their commitment that they have been rightly praised by those who have had the sense to tour with them and by those who have taken time out to watch the pair progress.
Their newest venture is Not Playing The Game, a rebellious musical move against the media’s constant demands and judgements imposed on today’s society. The Davis sisters aim to help break down false ideologies that create much unhappiness and feelings of inadequacy which seem to be on the rise these days with the increasing pressure of competing with flawless images and unrealistic ideals. The album of the same name is set for release in Spring 2016.
Tickets for Peter Andre with the Daughters of Davis as support are on sale now at the Empire Theatre Box office.
