Sarah Slean

Guy Davis

The lyrical storytelling of his songs is evidence of his background in theatre. His storytelling is sometimes painful, deep and real, an earthy contrast to modern-day commercial music, meant to create thought, underlined by gentle tones from his guitar or banjo finger-picking.
