Whew, well, I barely made this blog in on Wednesday, but I MADE IT.
Even though it's late and it may seem that maybe it's because nothing's been seeping through my speakers worth writing about, that's not it at all.
There has been one artist, that has been playing quite a bit the last several days.
Ladies and Gentleman, may I introduce this week's musician that I'm loving the more and more I hear....
MAURICE DAVIS.
I actually met Maurice about a year and a half ago...probably at one of the most random places ever. It wasn't in a venue or arena. Rather, it was at a nutritional/health/supplement store. Through mutual friends, Maurice had come by to play a few songs for one of the mutual friends, and walked in with guitar case in tow. From there he pulled out a...12. STRING. ACOUSTIC. Right off the bat, I knew this guy was LEGIT.
He played a few songs, but the 2 that I remember the most vividly were "Red Dress" and "Nobody's Fool". And they were both done flawlessly. I think "smooth" may be a good word to describe the way his voice blends with the guitar chords. A co-worker said it best, "he knows exactly what to do with his voice." And an extensive vocal range does nothing but increase the talent this guy has.
These 2 songs (which you need to go and check out as soon as you're done reading this blog) are available on iTunes! The Maurice Davis Band currently has 2 albums on there:
Draw the Curtain and We Are Permanent.
(You can thank me later for introducing you!) :)
Maurice has also currently been posting videos of song covers that friends have requested. All of them have been AMAZING. Here the links for a couple of my favorites (so far!)

In addition to being overwhelmingly talented both vocally, and musically in general, Maurice also has taken steps personally to spread news and awareness on behalf of missing and exploited children, even going so far as to write a song titled "Missing Children." Davis has an unbelievable story in his own personal life to justify the desire to spread light on the topic.
Check out Maurice's story:
