Toledo Lucas County Public Library welcomes all to our concert series, Live at the Library, featuring musical talent as they tour the country. This month, we welcome musician and songwriter Guy Davis!

Guy Davis is a two-time Grammy-nominated musician, actor, playwright, and songwriter whose work spans Roots, Blues, Folk, and World Music. With storytelling at the heart of his music, Guy addresses social injustices and historical events, as seen in songs like “God’s Gonna Make Things Over” about the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre.

A celebrated artist, Guy composed music for the Tony-nominated Broadway revival of Purlie Victorious, written by his father, Ossie Davis. His theater work includes starring in Finian’s Rainbow and Robert Johnson: Trick the Devil, which earned him a “Keeping the Blues Alive” award.

Guy’s dynamic career also includes performances in over 48 states and internationally. He’s played alongside legends like Pete Seeger and Taj Mahal and opened for B.B. King and Joan Armatrading. Beyond music, he’s written award-winning plays, including The Adventures of Fishy Waters, and hosted 400 online shows during the pandemic.

Guy continues to tour, teach, and inspire audiences worldwide, blending traditional and modern styles to connect with people of all ages and backgrounds. As he says, “There is no tale so tall that I cannot tell it, nor song so sweet that I cannot sing it.”
