Description

Whether Guy Davis is appearing in front of 15,000 people on the main stage of a major festival or teaching an intimate gathering of students he feels the instinctive desire to give each listener his ?all?. His ?all? is the Blues. 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.
As well as being a musician, Guy Davis is a composer, actor, director, and writer. He made his Broadway musical debut in 1991 in Mulebone, which featured the music of Taj Mahal. In 1993 he performed on Broadway as legendary blues player Robert Johnson in Trick the Devil. He received rave reviews and later won the Blues Foundation's Keeping the Blues Alive Award, presented to him by Robert Cray at the W.C. Handy Blues Awards ceremony.
"Lining up alongside other modern bluesmen such as Eric Bibb and Keb Mo, Davis is the complete performer... if you get the chance, go and see him." Maverick
