  • Guy Davis & Fabrizio Poggi
    Guy Davis & Fabrizio Poggi The Last Train Tour 2017 – A look back at Brownie McGhee & Sonny Terry “Guy Davis; he’s straight out of New York, and he’s America’s greatest link to the blues right now” windsor star, ontario, canada “Fabrizio Poggi is a terrific Italian harmonica player” dan ackroyd, the blues brothers Guy Davis & Fabrizio Poggi The Last Train Tour 2017 – A look back at Brownie McGhee and Sonny Terry Guy Davis once said, “I like antiques and old things, old places, that still have the dust of those who’ve gone before us lying upon them.” Blowing that dust off just enough to see its beauty is something Guy has excelled at for over twenty years of songwriting and performing. It’s no wonder his reverence for the music of the Blues Masters who’ve gone before him has been evident in every album he’s ever recorded or concert he’s given. Guy has had his musical storytelling influenced by artists like Blind Willie McTell and Big Bill Broonzy, and his musicality from artists as diverse as Lightnin’ Hopkins and Babatunde Olatunji. However, there’s one man that Guy most credits for his harmonica techniques, by stealing and crediting from him everything that he could, and that man is the legendary Sonny Terry. Guy’s new album, ‘Sonny & Brownie’s Last Train – A Look Back at Brownie McGhee and Sonny Terry’ is an homage to these two hugely influential artists, not only on Guy’s career, but to thousands of musicians around the world. One such artist is the Italian harmonica ace, Fabrizio Poggi, who collaborates with and produced this recording.

  • While Carrying the Blues Around the World, from the Equator to the Arctic Circle, Guy Davis Came Back with Some Fresh Inspiration and New Stories to Tell
    While carrying the blues around the world, from the Equator to the Arctic Circle, Guy Davis came back with some fresh inspiration and new stories to tell. Kokomo Kidd, Guy's follow-up album to the hugely successful "Juba Dance" from 2013, finds the blues ambassador visiting fresh territory. “It’s a new beginning for me,” he says, “The first time I produced myself. What I‘m showing here is a side of me that’s deep inside. It’s needing air and light, and here it comes!” His deft acoustic playing and well-crafted lyrics are here as always. And though Davis calls on his gifts as an actor and storyteller, some of his new songs are personal as it gets. “I Wish I Hadn’t Stayed Away So Long” confronts loss and pays tribute to a role model, Pete Seeger. “I was on Pete’s last official tour, witnessing with my own eyes something I’d heard since I was a child,” he says. Songs like “She Just Wants” and “Blackberry Kisses” get deep into romantic and sexual matters. “I’ve done the L-word, and Lord knows I’ve written my share of double entendres and even single entendres about sex. But if you listen to ‘Blackberry Kisses,’ you won’t hear a lot of blues songs that go into waltz time in the middle.”. The rollicking title track, featuring Ben Jaffe of New Orleans’ Preservation Hall Jazz Band, might be called a short story that you can dance to, featuring a rascal character who starts as a bootlegger and winds up a Republican advisor.

He views the blues as good-time music, the original forum for dancing above one’s troubles, sorrow turned to exquisite joy. But even though he was born and bred in middle-class New York suburbs, he’s 100 percent pure blues. The roots of his blues are as diverse as blues itself.

  • Press Release
    In honor of his 70th birthday (March 13), three-time Grammy winner Tom Chapin is releasing a new solo album 70 that takes the listener on a great ride through the full range of American folk, roots, and singer/songwriter experience. With over 50 years of performing, 40 years of social activism, and 30 years as a pioneer in the field of childrenʼs music Chapin is, as noted in the New York Times: “one of the great personalities in contemporary folk music.” Twelve of the fourteen songs on 70 – Tomʼs 24th album overall – were penned by Chapin, often with long- time collaborators Si Kahn, John Forster, Michael Mark, and Jon Cobert. There are also two loving covers tunes: one by his old friend Pete Seeger as well as a Steve Goodman chestnut. These songs span a wide spectrum of styles and themes: a modal banjo tune next to a folk blues; a bittersweet lost-love song next to a defiant anthem addressing the environmental crisis in Bristol Bay, Alaska; a celebration of the birth of his first granddaughter next to passionate lobbying for including arts in the schools. Again and again this album reminds the listener of the power of a song well-constructed, well played, and well sung. “70 shows a songwriter full of vitality and brimming with excitement. Songs of social activism address fracking, the importance of art classes in school and ecological issues, resting perfectly beside heartfelt appreciations for family and friends.” The Big Take Over Chapin and his bandmates of 27 years, Jon Cobert and Michael Mark, provide all the instruments and vocals on 70, with a few notable guests.
