Guy Davis is a two-time, back-to-back Grammy nominee for Best Traditional Blues, a musician, 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 theater background shines 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; he means to create thought, underlined by gentle tones from his guitar or banjo fingerpicking.
