Blues circuit guitarist/singer Davis Coen`s most recent accomplishments have included original music on the DVD release of Martin Scorsese`s PBS special 'The Blues'; backup work on the latest album by "Queen of the Mississippi Hillcountry Blues Singers" Jesse Mae Hemphill, entitled 'Dare You To Do It Again' (along with its DVD accompaniment); and often three times daily airtime on XM Satellite Radio through spring/summer '06; achieving a No. 1 position for the week of July 8th. In addition DC's music gets sporatic airplay on Sirius satellite radio as well as numerous other blues programs in the U.S. and around the globe. Coen has been touring the U.S. since his teens, mostly as a solo acoustic guitar and vocal act, but from time to time accompanied by bass and drums performing as an electric trio. Davis commonly plays at clubs, bars, theaters, and festivals throughout the Southeast, being based out of Charleston, South Carolina. He has also enjoyed a dozen tours of Europe, promoting his 3 album releases, Cryin` the Blues 95, Blues From the Get-go 99, and Can`t Get There From Here (Jan. 24th 06). He has shared a bill or opened for many classic blues artists such as James Cotton, Junior Wells, Koko Taylor, Big Jack Johnson, North Mississippi All-Stars, David "Honeyboy" Edwards, Eddie Kirkland, and Britain`s John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers. This past March Davis played at a clean-up kickoff in Biloxi, Mississippi for a Katrina relief effort, performing before the Mayor and the City of Biloxi.
