“… one of the most gifted acoustic musicians on the planet” - Blues Blast Magazine.Multi instrumentalist Guy Davis is a two-time, back-to-back Grammy nominee for Best Traditional Blues. He’s not just a musician, he’s a bluesman, a troubadour of the folk tradition and a master of his craft.
Equally at ease with six or twelve string guitar, five string banjo, harmonica, and even the didgeridoo, Guy uses a blend of Roots, Blues, Folk, Rock, Rap, Spoken Word, and World Music to comment on and address the frustrations of social injustice, historical events and common life struggles.
The deep and lyrical storytelling of his songs provides an earthy contrast to modern-day commercial music.
Guy’s work has seen him perform alongside Pete Seeger, Bruce Springsteen, Dr John, Taj Mahal and Joss Stone, opening for Chuck Berry, Joan Armatrading, and BB King, and perform all over the globe. Adventures that once saw him chased out of Red Square in Moscow for trying to sing, performing in the then Soviet occupied East Berlin, and in front of an iceberg in Greenland!
His shows feature a mixture of his own original material alongside classic cover songs from such luminaries as Muddy Water, Howlin’ Wolf, and Bob Dylan.
