“The six-piece group features long-time area musicians: guitarist and singer Dan Poland, bassist Tom Kesel and multi-instrumentalist Peter Leavenworth on pedal steel, dobro and banjo, along with vocalists Vicky Poland, Diane Sanborn Arabian and Carolyn Hutton. The Divas’ sound is based on harmony. It is toe-tapping, it is hand-clapping. It can, and does, move audiences to their feet and onto the floor to dance. The group regularly performs in concert halls, and at music festivals, benefits and conferences.”
Recently after attending a Funky Divas of Gospel concert, a reporter wrote, “All bluegrass, soul and gospel fans be forewarned: if you miss this funky group, to paraphrase a line in one of their songs, it ain’t nobody’s fault but yours.”
