Brad Davis has worked extensively as a guitarist, harmony vocalist, writer and producer for other music artists and movie soundtracks.
As he needed to find a way to pay the bills, he found a job as a roving fiddle and guitar minstrel at Opryland USA.
Davis appeared on a Grand Ole Opry episode, which aired on CMT, as part of this configuration, to sing "The Ballad of Jed Clampett".
His unique playing can be heard on movie soundtracks, including Steven Seagal’s "Fire Down Below", and Billy Bob Thornton’s releases "Daddy And Them" and "Waking Up In Reno".
In addition, he has toured, recorded or written with major artists such as Willie Nelson, Emmylou Harris, Pam Tillis, The Forester Sisters, Tommy Shaw (Styx), David Lee Roth (Van Halen), and Sweethearts of the Rodeo.
Other musicians on the record include Sam Bush, David Grier, John Jorgenson, Rob Ickes, Glen Duncan, and Earl Scruggs.
At the 2008 NAMM trade show in Los Angeles, California, Davis and his band were asked to open for John Mayer and Phil Keaggy, and they received a standing ovation.
