The Virginia-based band Sweet Davis has released their latest EP, Bittersweet. The 3-song EP is a nice blend of indie-pop rock with splashes of country. Singer Kristin Davis joins her brother Pete Davis (drums) and Matt Ascione (bass and guitar) to form the trio which sound more like a 5 piece band with the addition of piano, keyboards and guitars.
Sweet Davis got their start quite by chance… On one particular night there was a jam/rehearsal session for an upcoming show at a bar in DC. When the singer didn’t show, Kristin, who had had a couple drinks and was feeling no pain, grabbed the microphone and started singing. Pete Davis recalls: “I knew my sister had musical talent but had never really heard her sing. That night we knew she was it.”
The song Ready has plenty of great guitar riffs. Somehow, I expected to hear a male voice but was pleasantly surprised to hear this woman’s voice sear through the chords and out of the speakers. Too Shy has melodic, free spirited piano playing that is reminiscent of Bruce Hornsby’s That’s The Way It Is. The last track, Sparks, will spark your interest with catchy anthem lyrics the audience can sing along to. If you are feeling blue, turn on this track and instantly feel better. Better yet, just replay the EP!
