Divine AF at Fogartyville

Formed in 2017, Divine AF’s engaging and original blend of indie-folk, rock, pop and World Beat grooves — highlighted by the group’s unique three-vocalist format — has endeared them to a wide array of fans.

A proudly LGBTQ+ all-female outfit, singers Kat Star Song, Suzie Hopes and Brittany Baldwin, guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Lova Michelle Patterson, bassist Seanna Makepeace, drummer Claire Franklin and newcomer Jules Rayne on lead guitar/mandolin, manage to move easily between playing massive LGBTQ+ events like St. Pete Pride — the biggest Pride event in the Southeast, where they shared the stage with Lisa Loeb — to mainstream stages, such as their recent gig supporting hip-hop star Waka Flocka Flame.

The group introduced itself with the 2018 album This Side of Desire, supporting the release with touring and festival appearances that took the band from NYC’s Bowery Electric to Minnesota’s Wookiefoot Shangri-La Festival.

“Beautifully Broken” expands on the promise of “This Side of Desire.”

From the anthemic, guitar-driven defiance of “Flo + Debb” to the evocative introspection of “Kintsugi,” the country-flavored yearning of “Running to Stand Still” and the haunting melodies and harmonies of “Woman on a Wire,” “Beautifully Broken” showcases a group of artists unafraid to work together toward a singular vision without sacrificing the influences, talents and contributions of each individual.

“[Beautifully Broken] really displays some of the range this band is capable of,” says bassist Seanna Makepeace. “It makes a statement that we can be any genre that tickles our fancy, that we don’t have to choose one, and we’re still ourselves.”

Simply Greek Food Truck will be serving food beginning at 7 p.m.

Divine AF | Saturday, March 30, 8 p.m. | Doors open at 7 p.m.
