Husbands knows the galvanizing power of an anthemic, hair-raising song. As the co-founding songwriter behind the Oklahoma City indie rock outfit Husbands, Danny Davis has been meticulously crafting emotionally potent tunes about finding your place in the world. His writing always strives to break free from monotony and routine, aiming for meaning and clarity through massive choruses and colorful arrangements. CUATRO,
Husbands’ adventurous and triumphant fourth album out Oct. 13 via Cowboy 2.0 and Thirty Tigers, marks a turning point for the band. It’s the first LP written after the departure of longtime bandmate and collaborator, Wil Norton. It’s also an album that Davis made during a time of relative personal stability after quitting his nine-to-five and moving with his wife to Costa Rica. Across 11 arena-filling and richly-produced tracks, the full-length is a document of his growth as a human being and a testament to finding peace in relationships evolving.

Hailed by Germany’s Ruppiner Anzeiger as “The New, Young Pavarotti,” American tenor J. Warren Mitchell is recognized for his full-lyric voice, thrilling top register, and deeply expressive artistry. Equally at home in the soaring legato lines of Verdi and the ardent lyricism of Puccini, Mitchell has established himself as a dynamic presence on both the operatic and concert stages in the United States and Europe.

OperaWire has praised his performances for “those juicy tenor sounds and a winning smile,” noting that his voice “can trumpet notes and make extraordinary throbbing sounds hearkening back to a golden age when gods like Giuseppe di Stefano still roamed.”

Mitchell made his European debuts as Alfredo in La Traviata (2015) and Cavaradossi in Tosca (2016). In recognition of the Kammeroper’s 25th anniversary, he was invited to perform at Bellevue Palace in Berlin for German President Joachim Gauck and First Lady Daniela Schadt.

He currently resides in Oklahoma City and remains active as a clinician and collaborator with choirs across the United States and abroad.
