Skylands audiences are in for an electrifying evening when one of the finest Delta bluesmen on the circuit returns to the Hackettstown stage. Recording artist Guy Davis will perform at the Centenary Stage Company on Saturday, Feb. 9th at 8 PM.

Musician, composer, actor, director and writer, the multi-talented Davis has dedicated his career to reviving the traditions of acoustic blues and bringing them to as many people as possible. With influences such as Blind Willie McTell, Mississipi John Hurt, Buddy Guy, and Taj Mahal, Davis found his way into the blues through a dynamic combination of acoustic performance and oral tradition. His performance in "Robert Johnson: Trick the Devil" won him the 1993 Blues Foundation "Keeping the Blues Alive Award", which was presented by Robert Cray at the W.C. Handy Awards. His release "You Don't Know My Mind" was nominated for Traditional Blues Album of the year, and Acoustic Guitar Magazine called his album "Call Down the Thunder "one of thirty essential CD's from a new generations of performers." Davis was recently seen in the PBS special honoring the late Howard Armstrong, and his latest album, "Legacy" was selected as one of the Best CD's of the Year by National Public Radio.
