Thornetta Davis - Honest Woman (2016)

Winner of more than 25 Detroit Music Awards including Best Blues/R&B Vocalist.
Playing the music of Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, Janis Joplin, Gladys Knight and more Detroit native voice is strong, commanding, melodic and smooth. She tells her stories with an incredible delivery and leaves her audiences wanting more. Backed by her great band of Detroit musicians, Davis has opened for legendary blues and R&B greats such as Ray Charles, Gladys Knight, Smokey Robinson, Etta James, Buddy Guy, Koko Taylor and countless others.

Her history is extensive and her performances are memorable…like the time she opened for Bonnie Raitt at Michigan’s Ann Arbor Blues & Jazz festival in 1992. Bonnie asked Thornetta to join her and Katie Webster (queen of the swamp boogie) for an encore song which received a standing ovation.

It’s clear that she has earned the title of “Detroit’s Funky Rockin’ Blues Diva.”
