Davy Knowles (Page 5 of 6)

Everything is on track now. He came back to the States Monday and he plays his first show of the tour tonight in Annapolis. The Rams Head is nearly sold out which will be a wonderful way to begin after all the issues he had earlier. The shows he had to cancel have been rescheduled and new ones are also being added from time to time so keep an eye on his tour page http://davyknowles.com/tour/

Hi Jane.

I want to say thank you for the show review.   I am seeing Davy here in Denver in March and it's nice to have some info/updates/reviews to follow in the interim.  Can't wait! 

On a separate note, a few things specific to Nick.  I was hopeful after your review that perhaps he would be at the Denver show with Davy, but it does not appear to be the case based off his schedule on his website.  That show appears to be more of a one off date playing with Davy.  I am a fan of Nick's music and have been for quite awhile.  I have seen Nick many times and he is always great. 

I can't tell from your message if you were familiar with Nick before the show or not.  In case you weren't, I would highly recommend that you check out his previous band called Trampled Under Foot.  Great blues band he was in with his brother and sister.  His sister Danielle is also incredible and has a nice solo thing going now too.  Would definitely recommend checking her out as well if you aren't familiar.  She goes by Danielle Nicole.  Sorry if you already know all this.  Just passing it along in case.  Also...sorry for the slight thread hijack. 

Again, thanks for your review and for helping bridge the next couple months for me until it's my turn.

Thx for putting this up....he's playing Jergels tonight at 8 p/m...can't wait...:)

I went to Monroe, MI on Tuesday to see Davy play a very special acoustic show with Rev Robert B. Jones. The show was free and held at a library as part of their Black History month celebration. It was a wonderful night of music. Rev. Jones is an adept storyteller and prefaced his songs with the history regarding them. They played 2 sets. In the first Davy and the Rev each played a few of their own songs by themselves. Then in the second set they took turns playing and accompanying one another. It was so great to hear Davy play songs I had never heard before. He had one brand new one that night. And it was also cool hearing songs done acoustic that I previously only heard electric. Davy's solos during the Rev's songs were also incredibly impressive. Davy really is an accomplished acoustic player. He was telling me that he was kind of out of his comfort zone at this show. I told him he needs to get out of that zone more often He spoke of needing to strengthen his right hand more. It really requires more effort when playing acoustic. During the show you could tell how much fun both Davy and Rev Jones were having playing together. There was a lot of spontaneous stuff and in my mind it really shows the mark of an accomplished musician. Davy is hoping to play again with Rev Jones. He is planning on releasing an EP of acoustic songs later this year. Perhaps if he does an acoustic tour, the Rev can join him for a few shows. I know I would love to see them play together again.

Maybe he's not exposed to the big corporate money machine & he's content being himself not dealing with the b/s....
I do agree he's super talented...&  He's one of the best under the radar out there....

Davy's doing a nice little California run from March 24th - April 1. I'll be at the shows from LA up to San Fransisco. Looking forward to meeting up with some of the West Coast people. Here is a link for his show dates and tickets http://davyknowles.com/tour/

There are 6 of us going to Biscuits and Blues if SF....are you going to be there?? I may shoot up to Sutter Creek too but that theater is a dump (but close)....
