It’s an evening of acoustic music featuring American singer/songwriter Ward Davis from Monticello, Arkansas by way of Nashville, Tennessee. Davis has had songs recorded by the likes of Trace Adkins, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Wade Hayes, Sammy Kershaw, Bucky Covington, Jimmie Van Zant, Buddy Jewel, Carolina Rain, The Roys, and more. Most recently, Davis co-wrote, “I’m Not the Devil,” with Cody Jinks, with whom he subsequently toured with nationwide. “Unfair Weather Friend,” a song Davis also co-wrote with Marla Cannon-Goodman, was recorded by Nelson and Haggard for their final album collaboration together, “Django and Jimmie.” At Haggard’s request, the song was played at Haggard’s funeral in 2016.
