February 5, 2012 // 7 PMGuy Davis
The routes, and roots, of his blues are as diverse as the music form itself. It can be soulful, moaning out a people’s cry, or playful and bouncy as a hay-ride.
Guy can tell you stories of his great-grandparents and his grandparents, they’re days as track linemen, and of their interactions with the infamous KKK. He can also tell you that as a child raised in middle-class New York suburbs, the only cotton he’s picked is his underwear up off the floor.
He's a musician, composer, actor, director, and writer. But most importantly, Guy Davis is a bluesman. The blues permeates every corner of Davis' creativity.
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 is my wont, I admit, I am pushed to urge you on to tonight's performance because of what we heard at noon. Guy Davis gave us his all and got down awful, awful low. He is a blues master. Don't miss it. http://www.rvccarts.org/12/12Events/Club28/120316GuyDavis.htm
