Shaw Davis is quickly becoming an artist to watch in contemporary blues. The 21 year old is a fast and flashy player whose approach rests equally on technical assurance and musical intelligence. With a repertoire that features an interesting blend of traditional and funky modern blues he gets a pleasing, razor-sharp sound out of his six string while building excitement in his lead lines. Davis sites Stevie Ray Vaughan, Philip Sayce, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Tessmer, and Albert King as his chief influences.
