CL RECOMMENDS
CL Critic Hal Horowitz Recommends: After the dissolution of his Back Door Slam band, it was a surprise to no one that frontman/guitarist/singer/songwriter Knowles would graduate to a solo career, one that started with his 2014 debut. The Rory Gallagher fan—he even fronted Rory’s old band for a tour—has released two more melodic, strong, soulful albums since and routinely delivers searing, sweaty shows that make you wonder why he hasn’t been more warmly embraced by the blues rock community. — HH

From the venue:

We’ve all seen and felt Davy’s spectacular tribute shows to Rory Gallagher and now in post-Covid 2021 arrives his aptly named Mascot Label debut “ What Happens Next”. More than just the Blues power trio of Back Door Slam, Davy is a roots singer-songwriter who also wields a mighty Rockin axe but now adds his timeless and cohesive writing, showcasing all we already knew in sleek modern production with 12 songs as influenced by the Black Keyes/Gary Clark jr/Fantastic Negrito as they are Muddy/Kimbrough/Burnside.
 
He has shared the stage with heavyweights The Who, Jeff Beck, Gov Mule, Lynryd Skynyrd, Joe Satriani, Pete Frampton & Hagar led Supergroup Chickenfoot so redirecting his ability as a brilliant guitarist via that soulful emotive voice to showcase his new material was never in doubt as it weaves through brawny riffs, jazzy blues, and vintage vibes.
