Originally billed as a showcase for Andy Davis and friends covering the 1980’s hit movie Soundtrack, “Dirty Dancing”, the Mercy Lounge was instead transformed into a showcase for Andy Davis and his music.Davis performed an energetic, crowd pleasing set that included a cover of the famous Etta James song, ‘At Last’, as well as tipping his hat…errrr cap to the Dirty Dancing Soundtrack in a duet with friend, Ruby Amanfu.
The Nashville transplant’s song crafting has been compared to artist from Ben Folds and Billy Joel to the legendary Paul Simon. His song, “Beautiful Day for Bad News” was recently selected as USA Today's "Pick of the Week". Not bad for the Baton Rouge, Louisiana raised pianist.
Having toured on Willie Nelson’s old bus as part of the current 10 out of Tenn line-up which boast Nashville based artists Trent Dabbs, Griffin House, Matthew Perryman Jones, and Katie Herzig, the tenor no doubt won over many more listeners.
I am looking forward to becoming more acquainted with Mr. Davis’ music. He has certainly captured my attention.
