Guy Davis

Event Description

The lyrical storytelling of his songs is evidence of his background in theatre. His storytelling is sometimes painful, deep and real, an earthy contrast to modern-day commercial music, meant to create thought, underlined by gentle tones from his guitar or banjo finger-picking.


Equally at ease with six or twelve string guitar, five string banjo, harmonica and even the didgeridoo, Guy’s work has seen him perform alongside Pete Seeger, Bruce Springsteen, Dr John and Taj Mahal among others. He’s opened for Chuck Berry, Joan Armatrading and BB King and performed all over the globe. 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.
