POSTPONED: Wednesday Night Live: Joshua Davis

Wed, March 25, 2020 6:00 PM - Wed, March 25, 2020 7:00 PM at RCAH Theater

Singer, songwriter, educator, and touring musician Joshua Davis is coming to RCAH for Wednesday Night Live. Davis will be an artist in residence at RCAH from March 23 - March 27. 

Speaking or singing, the voice of Joshua Davis is a disarming instrument: weathered and warm, as capable of conjuring confessional intimacy on a global stage as it is of making a small room, well off the beaten path, resonate with startling urgency and power. Couple it with an earnest poetic sensibility, a boundless work ethic, and an uncanny gift for connecting with audiences spanning generations, and it’s no wonder that Davis is now poised at the brink of the sort of widespread recognition that typically passes right over such a humble troubadour.

Over the past twenty years, Michigan-based Davis has honed an impressive range of skills – songwriter, bandleader, guitarist, and vocalist among them – in the most honest possible fashion: night after night, song after song, show after show Davis simply delivered every performance as though his life depended on it. Investing himself in the American musical diaspora, he has explored the common thread connecting folk, blues, jazz, ragtime, and country forms – discovering his personal perspective as a composer in the process.

When Davis performed on NBC’s The Voice, America at-large finally discovered what Michiganders have known for more than two decades. This amazing artist connects with a live audience, nourishes their souls and feeds off of their love. Seeing him live has always revealed his core which has been captured on his latest recording Live At The Robin. His first live solo acoustic release, recorded in the intimate environment of The Robin Theatre in Lansing, Michigan, was well suited for catching him in his element. Joshua remains a quintessentially Michigan songwriter, drawing his inspiration from the rough-and-tumble streets of Motown to the arboreal Upper Peninsula. The mitten is his muse.
