Songwriter and singing phenom Rachael Davis and genre-defying quartet Steppin' In It found a common love for jazz music of the 1930s and 40s after playing concerts as a double-bill. The summer of 2006 found the two Michigan acts working at the same festivals, as classic tunes from Nat King Cole or Sarah Vaughan found their way onto set-lists. By the fall, the quintet was dubbed Shout Sister Shout and an album was in the works. The group was recently signed to M.C. Records out of New York, and their debut album will be released on M.C. in the Spring of 2009. Shout Sister Shout will be touring behind the release this Spring and Summer at festivals and concert venues across the country.

“The quintet is a tribute to the smoky, sophisticated sound of the 1930s and 40s jazz, with plenty of influence from Cole Porter, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Nat King Cole Trio, and Sarah Vaughan, and it’s a trip to hear Davis channel those old greats. Of course it doesn’t hurt to have a bunch of guys playing the hell out of vintage instruments as backup.”

“Combining the timeless rhythm section of Steppin’ In It and Rachael Davis’ velvety vocals, this group creates a live show that is hot, energetic, and brilliant.”
