The Davenports

Artist Description

"...some of the most lyrically and musically-rich modern guitar-pop, written by and for people who appreciate such cutting, take-no-prisoners observations that simultaneously celebrate and poke fun at their own worlds." - Jason Damas, All Music Guide

The Davenports return to Joeʼs Pub to celebrate the upcoming release of their third record, which sets tales of love, lust, mean, money-dangling mothers, superstitious panic attacks and the like, to a torrent of guitar-driven, melodic pop.

Helmed by Brooklyn-based songwriter Scott Klass, The Davenports features Angela Webster and Tommy Borscheid (Rhett Miller), and Thomas Ward, and it has included members of They Might Be Giants and Candy Butchers. Violinist Claudia Chopek and cellists Eleanor Norton and Garro Yellin add multiple layers of melancholy to the mix when successfully blackmailed.

The Davenports’ song "Five Steps" is the theme to A&E's Emmy-nominated series, Intervention, now in its fourth season.
