Guy Davis (USA)

"... 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, musician, actor, author, songwriter, so much more than 'just a bluesman', a troubadour of the folk tradition, and a master of his craft. Guy won “Keeping The Blues Alive” Award, and was nominated by The Blues Foundation for Best Acoustic Album of the Year, and Best Instrumentalist. In fact, he’s been nominated nearly two dozen times by the Blues Foundation. A highly impressive exponent of the old-fashioned country blues played by somebody from the Mississippi Delta on the 1930’s

Guy uses a blend of Roots, Blues, Folk, Rock, Spoken Word, and World Music to comment on and address the frustrations of social injustice, touching on historical events, and common life struggles. 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.

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, Taj Mahal and Joss Stone, opening for Chuck Berry, Joan Armatrading, and BB King, and perform all over the globe.
