DeVotchKa

When filmmakers Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris heard the evocative sounds of DeVotchKa on a radio station, they knew they had discovered the musical heart of their film "Little Miss Sunshine." The band's soundtrack and score became a vital part of the story, capturing themes of resilience and imperfect dreams with bittersweet orchestrations. This work earned the group a Grammy nomination and introduced their cinematic, lush sound to a global audience with tracks like "How It Ends." Two decades later, the band is celebrating this significant collaboration with a 20th anniversary tour titled "A Celebration of the Music of Little Miss Sunshine." This special performance revisits the soundtrack and score that established them as a prominent cultural voice, highlighting how a simple twist of fate can lead to lasting artistic impact.
