"Roots, Rock & Passion" describe the music and vibe of independent guitarist/singer/songwriter Garrick Davis.
"World Blues”, by Garrick's own definition, is "guitar-based music fusing American Blues, augmented by multicultural influences whenever possible and speaks lyrically toward the uplift of the human condition." Hearing a rough mix of a track deemed to be on the "House Full of Friends" live album as well a concert photo taken during that particular song performance inspired the band name.

Garrick has been inspired by artists in the Blues, Rock, Jazz, Folk and Classical genres.
Davis received his first guitar at age 12, citing Jimi Hendrix, Richie Havens, Jimmy Page(Led Zeppelin), Eric Clapton(Cream), Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones and Johnny Winter and ZZ Top to be among his earliest influences as a young teen. Davis went on to discover the "sources"of those previously mentioned, including Son House, Bukka White, Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, BB King, Freddie King, Albert Collins, Curtis Mayfield, Wes Montgomery. He also claims John McLaughlin, Bruce Springsteen, Frank Zappa, Jerry Garcia, Rory Gallagher and Pete Townsend to the list as "more than an afterthought" of inspiration.
Garrick Davis has evolved to consistently create, live or recorded, a transcendent musical experience under the moniker of "Garrick Davis World Blues" consisting of compelling songs laced with thoughtful messages brought to full dimension with his dynamic baritone voice anchored by an equally dynamic, present guitar style that is truly his own, yet still familiar. Whether performing solo or with the superb, rather familial musicians he performs with, these qualities deliver music, whether original or covers, that conveys an arresting authenticity characteristic of a deep and open soul.
As well as an opportunity to showcase newly released music, this show will serve as a 'farewell for now' as Garrick heads off to a new life and career chapter in Hungary in June 2024.
