Guy Davis (born May 12, 1952) is an American blues guitarist, banjo player, and two-time Grammy Award nominee.

Though raised in the New York City area, he grew up hearing accounts of life in the rural South from his parents and especially his grandparents, and they made their way into his own stories and songs.

Davis's next album, Call Down the Thunder paid tribute to the blues masters but revealed more of his powerful originals.

The San Francisco Chronicle gave the CD four stars, adding, "Davis' tough, timeless vocals blow through your brain like a Mississippi dust devil."

This is blues made for humming along, stomping your foot, feeling righteous in the face of oppression and expressing gratitude to your baby for greasing your skillet."

In addition to Platania on electric guitar, it includes musician friends such as Levon Helm, multi-instrumentalist, Tommy "T-Bone" Wolk; Carly Simon, 'Saturday Night Live' Band, drummer Gary Burke, and acoustic bassist, Mark Murphy.

Ian Anderson, founder and lead singer of Jethro Tull liked the album and invited Davis to open for them during the summer of 2003.

Notables who call themselves Davis fans include Jackson Browne, writer Maya Angelou, and actress Jessica Lange.

Lange invited Davis to perform his cover version of the Bob Dylan song, "What's a Sweetheart Like You (Doing in a Dump Like This)" for a fundraiser that she and her husband Sam Shepard organized for Tibetan monks in Minnesota.

It is all part of the national "Teaching Tolerance" campaign and continues to be distributed by the Southern Poverty Law Center, and sent to every public school in the country to help combat hatred.

Davis wrote a couple of songs and recorded with Dr. John for Whoopi Goldberg's Littleburg series, and appeared and sang in Jack's Big Music Show, both for the Nickelodeon network, Nick Jr. Davis has also done residency programs for the Lincoln Center Institute, the Kennedy Center, the State Theatre in New Jersey, and works with "Young Audiences of NJ", doing classroom workshops and assembly programs all across the country and in Canada for elementary, high school, and college students.
