Originally from New Orleans, Louisiana, singer/songwriter Ryan Paul Davis blends traditional blues and folk music with poetic lyricism and imagery. Often pushing the boundaries of roots and blues genres, his songwriting is characteristically reflective, raw, and emotive. Throughout his career, Davis has drawn a wide range of comparisons, from the rustic stylings of Robert Johnson to the intensity of Kurt Cobain.

Relocated to rural Central Texas, Davis is more troubadour than recluse, regularly performing across the southern U.S. Typically armed with primitive foot percussion and custom-built guitars gifted from his father, he is best known for his gritty and soulful live performances. He has shared the stage with the likes of Gary Clark Jr., Samantha Fish, Bob Schneider, Ian Moore, Hubert Sumlin, and W.C. Clark, among others. Davis has been featured in numerous southern festivals such as Austin’s SXSW Music Festival, the Texas Blueberry Festival, and The Woodlands Waterway Arts Festival. He produced his sixth commercial release, “This Slender Thread” (EP), in April 2022.

This concert is free and open to the public. See y’all there!
