Guy Davis

Whether Guy Davis is appearing on “Late Night With Conan O’Brien” or nationally syndicated radio programs such as Garrison Keillor’s, “A Prairie Home Campanion”, “Mountain Stage” or David Dye’s,“World Café”. , in front of 15,000 people on the Main Stage of a major festival, or teaching an intimate gathering of students at a Music Camp, Guy feels the instinctive desire to give each listener his ‘all’.

His ‘all’ is the Blues.

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.

« He’s got some Blind Willie and some Fats Waller, some Zora Neale Hurston, some Taj Mahal, and some Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee (his parents). He’s a musician, composer, actor, director and writer. But most importantly—Guy Davis is a bluesman who’s ready to enlighten young people with the vibrant storytelling kind-of-music that’s deeply rooted in American culture. » —Arts at Penn
