Funky Divas of Gospel Xmas Show

The Funky Divas of Gospel began their musical journey in the 1980s on the seacoast of New Hampshire. Over the years they have performed in many different forms, sometimes as a small band and other times with a 30 person gospel choir. Countless musicians and singers have been part of The Divas, some sitting in for one show and some playing for many years. All those steps along the way have led to a close knit group of gospel performers united by the music they love. Today the group is led by long time area musicians; guitarist and singer Dan Poland, bassist Tom Kesel, Pete Leavenworth playing pedal steel, dobro and banjo and drummer Bob Thibodeau. They are joined by vocalists Diane Sanborn Arabian, Carolyn Hutton and Vicky Poland

Regardless of the players, The Diva purpose has always remained the same – to share great music. The spirit that flows through their songs is universal and tells stories as old as time. They are performers who love entertaining audiences. Their music is roots music. It is harmony. It is hard rockin’ and reflective. It is toe tapping, it is hand clapping and it can, and does, move audiences to their feet and into the aisles to dance. Funky Divas shows are suitable for all ages.
