McGonigel’s Mucky Duck presents Hadden Sayers – Deva Mahal.

Hadden Sayers – As a songwriter, Sayers manipulates classic tropes, from blues, R&B, and rock into something not quite new, but plenty fresh. Melodies and hooks are his strengths, along with passionate vocals and a plethora of guitar licks.

Showcasing a variety of approaches to the blues, heis consistently engaging and enjoyable.

For the most part, Sayers gets in and gets out, gearing his musical statements to three-minute blasts of hook-filled, energetic songs the way they did it back when people bought 45 rpm records.

Deva Mahal is a powerful vocalist and songwriter who is the daughter of legendary blues musician Taj Mahal, with whom she wrote the song “Never Let You Go” on his Grammy-nominated 2009 album Maestro. She is a member of the acclaimed band Fredericks Brown, the musical collaboration of vocalist Mahal and New Zealand keyboardist Steph Brown. They have become renowned for their energetic live shows, rich harmonies, and beautifully crafted songs.

Deva, herself, has been immersing herself in the New York artist/musician scene for the past 7 years and has had the pleasure of creating with music makers such as Jaleel Bunton of Tv On the Radio, Binky Griptite of Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, The Knocks and Nick Paul of St. Lucia, Living Color, the New York Pops Orchestra and Teddy Thompson as well as performing on stage alongside such legends as Etta James, Martha Reeves, Bettye Lavette, The Roots, Meshell N’degeocello, Cyndi Lauper, Bilal, Jean Grae and Ronnie Spector.
