When filmmakers Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris heard DeVotchKa's evocative sound drifting through the airwaves, they knew they'd found the emotional heartbeat for their film “Little Miss Sunshine.” That instinct proved prophetic. DeVotchKa's soundtrack and score for the 2006 film became inseparable from its story. The bittersweet orchestration to the Hoover family's cross-country journey, captured the themes of hope, resilience, and beautifully imperfect dreams. The band's signature sound gave the film its unmistakable soul, turning moments like young Olive's final dance into cultural touchstones. The work earned DeVotchKa a Grammy nomination for Best Compilation Soundtrack Album and the film won two Oscars. Introducing the world to the band's cinematic, lush orchestral sound, songs like "Til the End of Time" and "How It Ends" transcended the screen to become anthems. Now, two decades later, Denver-based DeVotchKa are coming to the UK to celebrate the landmark collaboration with a special 20th anniversary tour, “A Celebration of the Music from Little Miss Sunshine.” The performance honours not just the music that helped define a generation of independent film, but the unlikely journey that began with a radio station, a perfect song at the perfect moment, and a story about never giving up on what makes you different. DeVotchKa as they revisit the soundtrack and score that launched them into the cultural conversation – a reminder that sometimes the most beautiful twists of fate create the most lasting art. https://www.devotchka.net/ For more information, please contact: Carl Delahunty | Carry On Press [email protected]
