Guy Davis
Thursday 30th April | 7.30pm | £15 +booking fee
Multi-instrumentalist Guy Davis is a two-time, back-to-back Grammy nominee for Best Tradtional Blues. A musician, actor, author and songwriter; Guy uses a blend of Roots, Blues, Folk, Rock, Rap, Spoken Word and World Music to address the frustrations of social injustice, touching on historical events, and common life struggles. 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 performing all over the globe.
