Morgan Davis is a Juno award-winning solo artist, interpreting the Blues with deep respect for its traditions while also performing contemporary Blues of his own on electric guitar, slide guitar, and 3-string cigar-box guitar,
Morgan grew up in Detroit during the 1950s, absorbing the music of the times: early Rock and Roll and Rhythm and Blues along with the beginnings of the Motown Sound. Davis moved to Toronto in 1958 where he began to seriously study the music he loved most: early Country Blues. He began playing professionally in 1971 and through the kindness and generosity of artists like Sunnyland Slim and Johnny Shines, Davis learned from and performed with these giants of the Blues.
This year marks Morgan's 53rd year on the road and he fully expects to be on that road for the rest of his life, playing the music he loves!
