Davidson got his first taste of guitar at the age of three, when he received a toy guitar for Christmas. In 2007, he won his first electric guitar in the James Burton Foundation's Guitar Showdown. Since then, he's won numerous accolades, including being named the recipient of the 2011 Robert Johnson Blues Foundation New Generation Award and being selected as the 2011 Kidd Kraddick Rock Camp Guitarist. He's played everywhere from The Dallas House of Blues and The New Orleans Jazz Fest to B.B. King's Blues Club in Memphis and The Strand Theatre in his hometown of Shreveport, LA.
Osborn, who plays bass on this recording, first heard Matthew perform twoyears ago at The Municipal Auditorium. Recognizing Matthew's talent, Osborn took Matthew under his wing, mentoring him and guiding him through this first recording project. "Matthew's musicianship is far beyond his years," said Osborn. "When I play with Matthew, it's like playing with a seasoned professional. And Matthew is always a gentleman."
With musical influences as diverse as The Beatles, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Maroon 5 and John Mayer, Davidson is a triple-threat: guitarist, vocalist and songwriter, performing rock, blues and pop with equal command.
