Davis is 1993 winner of the Blues Foundation’s W.C.Handy “Keeping the Blues Alive” Award for his Off-Broadway performance as legendary blues player Robert Johnson in Robert Johnson: Trick the Devil. Guy has released 9 albums including the February 2009 release of Sweetheart Like You, and tours across North American and Europe, playing concerts, telling stories and bringing new characters to life on stage. www.GuyDavis.com
