"It's difficult to know where to begin with the story of New York City bluesman Guy Davis. Accomplished and acclaimed as a musician, composer, actor, director and writer, Davis somehow makes the term multi-talented seem woefully inadequate.
— Jim Musser, Icon Magazine
"Like the best early bluesmen, Guy Davis is, at heart, a storyteller. A master at setting intimate, richly nuanced tales to stomping acoustic blues backing, often with folky accompaniment from mandolin, banjo, and accordion, he helped revitalize the state of country blues in the 1990s with a string of critically acclaimed albums for Red House Records."
— Blues Revue
Guy Davis is an award winning blues artist who has dedicated himself to reviving the traditions of acoustic blues and bringing them to as many ears as possible through the material of the great blues masters. He is an adept performer and educator who has participated for several years in the "Blues in the Schools" program. In addition to his concert, Guy will conduct a residency at an inner-city school in Harrisburg.
