Damon Davies Well known Australian blues player. www.damondavies.com

Damon emerged from the Sydney Blues scene as a unique performer. After co-founding The Mudsteppers Jug Band, with Damian Coen, Damon was soon working with some of Sydney's leading blues musicians, such as Jim Conway and Pete Burgess (Backsliders), Bridie King, Mic Conway, and Ron and Jeff King (Foreday Riders). Some of these collaborations featured on Damon's first recording, "Ride This Train" (1995); a superb exploration and reinvigoration of classic blues songs from the likes of Fred McDowell, Booker White, Charlie Patton and Sleepy John Estes alongside some equally powerful originals. At the end of '95, Damon relocated to the small rural village of Cobargo on the far south coast of NSW.
