Recently featured on National Public Radio and CBS’s Late Show with David Letterman, Guy Davis is a musician, composer, actor, director, writer and consummate performer. He’s got some Blind Willie McTell and some Fats Waller, some Buddy Guy and some Taj Mahal. He’s got some Zora Neale Hurston and some Garrison Keillor. But most importantly, Guy Davis is a bluesman. The blues permeate every corner of Davis’ creativity. Throughout his career he has dedicated himself to reviving the traditions of acoustic blues and bringing them to as many ears as possible through the material of the great blues masters, African American stories, and his own original songs, stories and performance pieces.
Guy Davis is keeping the blues alive, playing with unparalleled vitality and heart. Expressive stories place you back at the roots of the blues, the songs and notes will transport your spirit to the soul of the blues.
