Description

American Roots musician Guy Davis (vocals, 6 string guitar, 12 string guitar, 5 and 6 string banjo, didgeridoo, harmonica) is two times Grammy nominee (Best Traditional Blues). He is also an actor, author and songwriter.
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, touching on historical events, and common life struggles. His background in theatre is pronounced through the lyrical storytelling of songs ?God?s Gonna Make Things Over? about the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, ?Welcome to My World?, and ?Got Your Letter In My Pocket?. 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 fingerpicking.
Guy won ?Keeping The Blues Alive? Award, and was nominated by The Blues Foundation
for Best Acoustic Album of the Year, Best Acoustic Artist of the Year, and Best
Instrumentalist. In fact, he's been nominated nearly two dozen times by the Blues
Foundation.
Among hundreds of newspaper appearances, he's also been featured in articles or reviews
by New York Times, Village Voice, Boston Globe, Pulse Magazine, Blues Magazine, Acoustic Guitar, Dirty Linen, Songlines, Blues Blast Magazine, Living Blues, Down At the Crossroads, The San Francisco Chronicle, Association For Independent Music (formerly NAIRD), Playboy Magazine, National Public Radio (NPR), "Folk Alley", and Sirius.
When asked about his experience as a performer, Guy has replied, ?There is no tale so tall
that I cannot tell it, nor song so sweet that I cannot sing it.?
