Guy Davis

Guy Davis, live in Brighton!

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 background in

theater is pronounced 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, meant to create thought, underlined by gentle tones from

his guitar or banjo fingerpicking
