"The Best Band to ever grace the Ground Zero Stage"

— A. Norris, Ground Zero Blues Club

“VOo Davis in Top #30 National Jam Band Acts at # 16”

— Relix Magazine, Relix Magazine

“No matter how amazing your talent, how many stages you stand on each year, how many miles pass beneath your feet, blues is highly unlikely to make you a household name. The current field of musicians crisscrossing the country today may be the best ever. That will, with a little luck, put dinner on the table and gas in the tank but probably not much more for the men and women of the blues. One such musician is Brian ‘Voo’ Davis, A Chicago bluesman with a talent for every instrument he picks up. It is his guitar work that truly stands out as extraordinary however. Voo has the personal tragedy in his past to merit more than simply sounding like the blues, he understands them deep in his soul and you can hear it in every note. I had heard of Voo on and off but there are simply too many musicians to keep up with. It wasn’t until recently that I downloaded his album, A Place for Secrets from Amazon. Yes, I used the words downloaded and Amazon in the same sentence. Unfortunately Voo ”

— Doug Hanson, CanTopia

“ I have been listening to A Place For Secrets, the most recent release from Voo Davis. Davis has built quite a reputation as a skilled slide player and performer working with Eddie King. Davis teamed up with Producer and multi instrumentalist, Steve Bores.The result of that collaboration is this recording... part introspective, part extrovert... all musical. His vocals are seductive and his playing tight. Levee and Le Bon Tempe Roule shows the tables turn with Davis on a wide open acoustic slide jam with harp and drums. Home again shows Davis' strength as a balladeer and songwriter. The intentional discord in parts of the melody draw attention to solemn nature of the track. Overall a very enticing recording.”

— Bman, Bmans Blues Report

“Bravo on guitar, Brian ' Voo ' Davis, has wedged between his hands, an anonymous slide guitar in one of the many blues trios on the roads of the American South, but the quality and the ability to follow the tortuous paths of Jimi Hendrix (there was born the nickname ' Voo ') has changed the life of multi-instrumentalist Voo Davis (plays all guitars, organ, bass, piano, harmonica and producer Steve Bores the rest, drums and bass). An extensive showcase of partnerships-without ever leaving an unguarded corner, is particularly aggressive and full of nuances, he continued to fill over the decades until the fate did not create new outlets, the exit of “A Place for Secrets” is born only after the death of his wife in 2009. from the ballad with harmonica, leaning brilliantly to lap steel in The Wild One, the final Beautiful Tattoo and dazzling Out Of The Blue, flutter certainly while remaining an avvoltolata blanket in melancholy Classic, Caught You Bleeding – also because it leads to t”

Questions

Ask VOo Davis anything...

Q: VOo - I wanted you to know that I drove to Little Rock from Ground Zero listening - only that. I figured once I hit home - I had only been listening to your first CD, not driving. I'm still listening

A: Hey Darling!! Great to hear you like the disc. I hope you continue to get enjoyment out of it and I can't wait to send you the next disc that we are just finishing up. What a great conversation we had! It was great to meet you at ground zero!!! My Best VOo
