Bridget Davis + the Viking Kings – a folk ensemble that placed third in our Best of NYC Year End Readers’ Roots Music Poll – isn’t your typical crooning Country songstress. Each song weaves together its own unique tapestry of interesting characters and romantic late-night adventures, and most of these characters have some dark stories to tell. These songs are narrative inspiration perfect for anyone with an axe to grind. For her just-released EP ‘January,’ Davis takes the month to task. The eponymous track compares January to a lover that leaves you in the cold, a fairly apt description if you ask me. Let’s hope February treats the singer/songwriter a little better (and us too!), with her upcoming show scheduled for Spike hill on Feb. 20th at 10pm. – Mike Levine (@Goldnuggets)
