Steve Davison
Mr. Davison is a finger-style guitarist who composes on the 6 and 12 string guitar. An aging hipster, his musical career started at age 12 playing the drums in a multitude of rock and roll bands. At the tender age of 19 he saw his first solo acoustic guitar performance which changed his life. He put down the sticks and picked up the guitar and started his life long journey of discovery. Steve’s compositions are built around simple melodic structures and focus on the intimate qualities of the wooden guitar and the tonal possibilities of alternate tunings that give the guitar such an extraordinary range. In June of 2019, Mr. Davison was awarded the Guitar Player of the Year by the Arkansas Country Music Awards.
