From the roots of the blues in the Mississippi Delta to the Carolinas, Davis channels tales from Black History and the rural South shared by his actor/activist parents (Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee) and grandparents, passing them along to a new generation. USA Today has said of the musician, “What is remarkable about Guy Davis’ picking style and easy songwriting grace is that his songs sound so deeply drenched in lost black traditions that you feel they must predate him. But no, they don’t. He created them.” Guy Davis Trio: Stories and Songs of the Blues will take place in the BAM Howard Gilman Opera House (30 Lafayette Avenue) on Saturday, February 7 at 2pm. Concessions with kid-friendly food and snacks will be available before the performance. For tickets—priced at $15—call BAM Ticket Services at 718.636.4100 or visit BAM.org. About the artists Guy Davis (guitar) Born in New York City, Davis taught himself the guitar and learned by listening and watching other musicians. Throughout his life, Davis has had overlapping interest in music and acting. Early roles included the lead in the film Beat Street, and on television’s “One Life to Live.” He made his Broadway musical debut in Mulebone which featured the music of Taj Mahal, followed by Off-Broadway shows, Robert Johnson: Trick the Devil in 1993, and In Bed with the Blues: The Adventures of Fishy Waters in 1994. The musician, composer, actor, director, and writer has been involved with a variety of other projects. Davis arranged, performed, and co-wrote the music for the Emmy-award winning film, To Be a Man, and his music was used in the national PBS series The American Promise. Davis has also performed in work with his parents including Two Hah Hahs and a Homeboy at the Crossroads Theater in New Brunswick, NJ. On a mission to revive the traditions of acoustic blues and reunite Black America with its musical roots, for the past decade he has focused on writing, recording, and performing music. In 1995 he released his debut CD Stomp Down River, since then he has released seven albums, including his latest, On Air in 2008. Davis has contributed to a host of tribute and compilation albums, including From Mali to Memphis, and the children’s album Sing along with Putumayo, as well as the Bob Dylan 60th birthday CD A Nod to Bob. In 2003, Davis contributed the title track to I Will Be Your Friend: Songs and Activities for Young Peacemakers. The CD is a collection of enriching songs combined with a teacher’s aide kit to help teach diversity and understanding. Mark Murphy (upright bass and vocals) Murphy has appeared on Nashville Network’s “Fire on the Mountain” and NPR's “Prairie Home Companion.” He has performed with Pilobolus Dance Company and has headlined shows ranging from the Carter Family Fold to Lincoln Center. With the Vanaver Caravan, he has performed at Lincoln Center and the United Nations, and was part of the cast filmed for their historic dance reconstruction, “Boston Fancy,” which was inducted into the National Archives. He also performs bass and vocals for Work o’ the Weavers. He tours and records with Guy Davis, including appearing with him on “Late Night With Conan O'Brien” and on tour in Europe. Aaron L. Hurwitz a/k/a Professor Louie (piano, keyboards, accordion, vocals) Professor Louie has been performing with Guy Davis for the past three years in Europe, Canada, and the US. Early in his career, he performed on the gospel circuit as organist for The Mighty Gospel Giants of Brooklyn and on the Rock and Blues circuit with many national acts. In 1985, he joined the organization of the Rock’n’Roll Hall of Fame group The Band, working with them for fifteen years co-producing, engineering, and performing on their three major releases in the 90s. In 2000, he formed his own group, Professor Louie & The Crowmatix. They have recorded six CD’s for The Woodstock Records label and perform over 100 shows a year. They hold the distinct honor of being the only artists to have a live concert CD released by The New York State Museum entitled The Spirit of Woodstock. In 2007, Professor Louie with his writing partner Marie Spinosa won the International composition award given out by the ERM/Naxos Label for their song “Melody of Peace.” The label brought them to perform and record in Prague. For the past four years, Professor Louie has been performing in concert halls in Novosibirsk, Siberia, Russia and also has been teaching English through singing. A documentary of these experiences, Woodstock-Siberia Blues Express, has been featured at film festivals including the 2007 Woodstock Film Festival. Louie has an instructional accordion DVD on Homespun Tapes and has taught and performed for elementary, high school and college programs including St Lawrence University and The Common Ground music series at McDaniel College in Maryland.

  • 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.

  • 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.
