Guy is a long-time friend and supporter of Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, and his friendship with Clearwater founder Pete Seeger dated from Guy’s childhood to Pete’s passing in 2014. He is doing this show to honor Clearwater Environmental Action Director Manna Jo Greene, who recently retired after 23 years of tireless advocacy for the Hudson River and the communities in its watershed. All proceeds will go towards continuing this work, underwriting the iconic sloop Clearwater and the organization’s role as a grassroots model for producing positive change to protect the waters of our planet.
Guy Davis is a two-time, back-to-back Grammy nominee for Best Traditional Blues, a musician, Actor, Author, and Songwriter. Guy 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 common life struggles. His background in theater is pronounced through 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 real, an earthy contrast to modern-day commercial music, meant to create thought, underlined by gentle tones from his guitar or banjo fingerpicking.
