“I’ve loved ‘Heads Carolina, Tails California’ since I was a kid,” shares Davis. Songwriters Mark D. Sanders and Tim Nichols wrote a country hit that still stands today and Jo Dee’s vocals just make it soar. I wanted to throw a different spin on the tempo and production of the song as I think there are so many interpretations when you have lyrics and music this strong. It was fun to take it on. Hope y’all enjoy!”
Davis is a Shreveport-born, Nashville-weathered creative soul with his feet firmly planted in two different eras. The imagery in his songs relies on the same specificity behind such classic, lyrically- driven songwriters as John Prine, Jim Croce and Bob McDill. But the tech-tinged production and silvery phrasing in those same songs embodies the genre-defying musicality of such current acts as Eric Church, Sam Hunt and Lady Antebellum. Davis released his debut full-length album Home State via UMG Nashville in March 2018 with No. 1 tracks “Singles You Up” and “Take it from Me” both certified Platinum, leading the album to amass nearly 1 billion streams. Davis performed “Singles You Up” as part of his set during Amazon Music’s 2018 showcase at the Country Radio Seminar. The third release from his debut, “Slow Dance In A Parking Lot,” is already Top 20-and-climbing as his cross-genre collaboration with Julia Michaels, “Cool Anymore,” surpasses over 8 million video views in the short time since its release in November.
On Friday (1/10), Davis kicked off his “Trouble Town Tour” in Milwaukee. The tour will visit 20 cities including New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta and Denver. Kassi Ashton and Hailey Whitters will join Davis on select dates of the headlining tour.
