Garrick Davis

“World Blues”, by Garrick's own definition, is “music spiritually connected to its African origin that offers the philosophical truth of the Blues, the improvisational freedom of Jazz, the immediacy of Rock, and the percussiveness of Funk. Davis’ music lyrically speaks to the challenge and universality of the human condition. “Garrick Davis World Blues” identifies both the foundation and creative reach and vision of Garrick’s wide-ranging style honed over 55 years of work and independent development.

Davis released his sixth album, ”The Dignity Project - 1st Edition”, a body of work inspired in part by the loss of his son, Zach, who was musically collaborative as a father and son duo, which was fertile and mutually influential as Zach provided a fresh perspective to Garrick's midlife musical direction.

Recent Dignity Project Review (excerpt): “Aptly called The Dignity Project, Garrick Davis’ songs are both deeply personal and universal. They speak to the dignity of life and human existence. These are songs for our times. A time when our world is struggling with its capacity for humanity and dignity. Tempered by emotional and expressive depth, Davis’s songs are catalysts for awakening us to our shadow and our light, our lack of self-awareness, and our capacity for greater self-awareness.” - Raine Jordan.
