Often called America's music, the sounds of bluegrass are as much a part of the fabric of the American experience as “The Andy Griffith Show” and the Super Bowl.
Davis fondly recalls watching some of the first generation of bluegrass stars on television while growing up, but what is amazing about his personal experience, is that he also watched members of the first generation of Bluegrass playing live in his own living room in his native Alabama.
He is a bluegrass prodigy, coming from a musical family that included his father and siblings including his Uncle Cleo Davis, who was Bill Monroe's very first Blue Grass Boy. Cleo added his talents when the Father of Bluegrass made his musical debut on the Grand Ole Opry.
His family heritage gave David a strong respect for Monroe and how he created a musical place for himself in the world.
