"Irrepressible verve and joy.” –Daniel Bracken, Wheatland Music Festival

One time garage rock troubadour Dave Boutette, and former Radio City Rockette Kristi Lynn Davis make what could be considered an unexpected musical pairing, but they have certainly found a way to make it work. Since pairing Dave’s celebrated songwriting with Kristi’s natural gift for harmony, the duo has delighted audiences at music festivals, house concerts, and listening rooms from Michigan’s Upper Peninsula to the Maryland shore. Their most recent release THE CHICKADEES reached #11 on the Folk DJ Chart in June of 2025.

For additional spark in the set list that night, Dave & Kristi will be bringing along their Handsome Devils, consisting of Jason Dennie on mandolin and Brad Phillips on fiddle.

Dave & Kristi’s songs mix many schools of American roots and popular music including folk, blues, swing, and old time country. The lyrics testify to the power of true love, rebirth, Polka bands, coffee, and migrating fish.
