GUY DAVIS -
There are living legends and National treasures in this world...Guy Davis is one of them.

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.

M.C. Records is proud to announce the release of Guy Davis' The Legend of Sugarbelly on August 23. The 13-song release by the Grammy-nominated legendary roots musician contains mostly original songs and several blues classics from Leadbelly, Rev. Gary Davis, and Blind Lemon Jefferson.

On The Legend of Sugarbelly, Guy's gift for storytelling is on full display as he weaves tales of lost love, moonshiners, and redemption. The sparse backing on the recording lets Guy's voice shine throughout as well as his banjo and guitar playing. On some songs, you'll find him playing solo, others with a more full accompaniment.

This is Guy's most complete recording with its engaging storytelling and gritty blues.

Guy won “Keeping The Blues Alive” Award, and was nominated by The Blues Foundation for Best Acoustic Album of the Year, Best Acoustic Artist of the Year, and Best Instrumentalist. In fact, he's been nominated nearly two dozen times by the Blues Foundation.

Among hundreds of newspaper appearances, he's also been featured in articles or reviews by New York Times, Village Voice, Boston Globe, Pulse Magazine, Blues Magazine, Acoustic Guitar, Dirty Linen, Songlines, Blues Blast Magazine, Living Blues, Down At the Crossroads, The San Francisco Chronicle, Association For Independent Music (formerly NAIRD), Playboy Magazine, National Public Radio (NPR), "Folk Alley", and Sirius. When asked about his experience as a performer, Guy has replied, “There is no tale so tall that I cannot tell it, nor song so sweet that I cannot sing it.”

This will be Guy Davis' 6th visit to The Fallout Shelter stage either as a solo artist, with Gumbo Grits and Gravy or The Guy Davis Group. These are incredible shows...always.
