Join us for a special concert celebrating the release of Clinton Davis’ second full-length album, “Ever Returning.” Clinton Davis is an old time folk multi-instrumentalist currently based in San Diego. A fifth-generation Kentuckian, Davis grew up in rural Carroll County. His guitar work has earned the praise of Stefan Grossman, who called him “a master…carrying on the traditional music torch of Mike Seeger.” Deering Banjos has called his playing on their instruments “simply sublime.” Joined by fellow multi-instrumentalist Tim McNalley and Ryan Finch, the Clinton Davis Stringband bring a high level of musicianship and artistry to their performances that have made them a perennial favorite on the West Coast. Together, they explore America’s musical past with interpretations that are novel but faithful to tradition. Their sets always bring unexpected arrangements of rarely-heard old tunes that blur the lines between “old time” “bluegrass” and “ragtime.” Clinton Davis on Instagram / Youtube Verbatim Banks on Facebook / Instagram
