Guy Davis is a two-time, back-to-back Grammy nominee for Best Traditional Blues, a musician, actor, author, and songwriter. Talk about a potential future EGOT – Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony.

Mr. Davis 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 everyday life struggles. 

His background in theater is evident in 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 honest, an earthy contrast to modern-day commercial music, meant to create thought, underlined by gentle tones from his guitar or banjo fingerpicking.

The Lake George Arts Project’s Summer Concert Series would not be possible without the support of The Town of Lake George, The Village of Lake George, The New York State Council on the Arts, Anonymous, and their generous members and supporters.
