Event Type

Genre : Music - Folk/blues/world

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.
