For nearly four decades Morgan Davis has been on the road travelling across Canada, the United States and Europe. His performances draw from a rich tradition of country and delta blues, as well as his own contemporary songs infused with wit and a large dose of humour. Over the years he has had the privilege of opening for Willie Dixon, John Lee Hooker, Albert King, John Hammond, Albert Collins, and Eric Bibb. A highlight of his career was backing the phenomenal Dr. John. Morgan has shared the stage with Colin Linden, who also produced his second album, James Harmon, Gene Taylor, Sue Foley, Ray Bonneville, Carlos del Junco and the late Dutch Mason. Morgan’s passion for the Blues has never wavered… and he fully expects to be on the road for the rest of his life.
