Davis says his blues music is inspired by the southern speech of his
grandmother. Though raised in the New York City area, he grew up
hearing accounts of life in the rural south from his parents and
especially his grandparents, and they made their way into his own
stories and songs.
Davis taught himself the guitar (never having the patience to take formal lessons) and learned by listening to and watching other musicians.

One night on a train from Boston to New York he picked up finger
picking from a nine-fingered guitar player.
His first exposure to the blues was at a summer camp in Vermont run by Pete Seeger's brother John Seeger, where he learned how to play the 5-string banjo.

For the past decade, Davis has concentrated much of his efforts on
writing, recording, and performing music. In the fall of 1995, he
released his Red House records debut Stomp Down Rider, an album that
captured Davis in a stunning live performance. The album landed on top
lists all over the country, including in the Boston Globe and Pulse
magazine.
Davis' next album, Call Down the Thunder, paid tribute to the blues
masters, but leaned more heavily towards his own powerful originals. It
too was named a top ten album of the year in the Boston Globe and Pulse,
and Acoustic Guitar called it one of the “thirty essential CDs from a
new generation of performers”.....
