Blues icon opens Greenbank music season It was through Taj Mahal that he found his way to the old time Greenbank Folk Music Society welcomes the return of superb blues guitarist and banjo player, actor, teacher and writer, Guy Davis, to begin our new folk music season on Saturday, Octo- ber 11. Son of the late actors, Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis, Guy is a musician, composer, actor, direc- tor, and writer. But most importantly, a bluesman. Throughout his career, he has dedicated himself to reviving the traditions of acoustic blues and bring- ing them to as many ears as possible through the material of the great blues masters, African Ameri- can stories, and his own original songs, stories and performance pieces. His influences are as varied as the days. Musically, he enjoyed such great blues musi- cians as Mississippi John Hurt and Buddy Guy.
