The Noisemakers: where Dixieland tradition collides head-on with a punk rock ethos, creating a sound as raucous as it is refined. Led by bandleader Davina Sowers, this Minneapolis-based ensemble isn't just reviving early jazz; they're detonating it, reassembling the pieces into a vibrant, irreverent mosaic. Drawing inspiration from Fats Waller, Bessie Smith, and Louis Armstrong, their music is a gumbo of blues, ragtime, and barrelhouse piano, seasoned with Sowers' powerhouse vocals that can soothe and scorch in equal measure.

A pivotal moment came with their critically acclaimed album, showcasing Sowers' songwriting prowess and the band's uncanny ability to blend historical reverence with contemporary swagger. The Noisemakers aren't merely regurgitating history; they're actively shaping it, injecting a vital dose of energy into a genre often relegated to museum pieces. Their appeal lies in their authenticity and refusal to be pigeonholed. They’ve shared stages with artists spanning various genres, proving their music transcends boundaries. Recent years have seen them touring extensively, captivating audiences worldwide with their infectious energy and undeniable talent.
