Christopher Davis-Shannon’s music cdavisshannon.com is the essence of honest simplicity. Steeped strongly in the Piedmont and Delta finger-style blues traditions, his performances bring you back to a time of juke joints and smoky blues clubs of the early 20th century South. A modern vagabond, he has toured the country for the past 3 years, performing from Las Vegas to New Orleans and throughout the South.
Davis-Shannon performs a mix of blues and jazz standards, traditional spirituals and his own originals which are steeped in the age old styles he holds close to his heart. His intricate guitar work and plaintive vocals are infused with soulfulness which cannot be faked, and a respect for his predecessors which is rarely equaled.
