David Davenport's poignant lyrics and blues, punk, country and soul influenced playing style has moved audiences all over America for more than a quarter of a century. From California, to his home state of Michigan, to his current home in Bloomington, Illinois, Davenport's strong lyrics and hook-laden melodies have been winning over fans and critics alike. His versatile singing voice has drawn comparisons to Billy Joel, Warren Zevon, Van Morrison, and David Bowie while his piano playing has been labeled as 'inimitable' with a style that alternates between 'punk/funk' , 'soulful slamming', and 'lyrically sweet and jazzy'. Davenport's career has been defined by success after musical success. From his days playing punk rock in San Diego with local legends Claude Coma & the IV's to his run with Michigan rock icons The Burdons, there has never been a dull moment in Davenport's musical journey. His songs have reached the Top 40 US Rock Independent Radio Charts and his blues band,Lorrie Ann & the 3D Rhythm Band, have shared the stage with legendary performers Johnny Lang, Joanna Connor, Mississippi Heat, Lonnie Brooks just to name a few. Sharing the stage with these great musicians, and performing at such esteemed venues as the Illinois Blues Festival and Detroit's St. Andrew's Hall, has given Davenport's songwriting a flavor that exudes his cornucopia of experience and influences. From ballads with political themes, to raucous rockers about personal meltdowns and infectious pop tunes, David's sound is constantly reshaping itself as his life and musical career move in new and exciting directions. See for yourself....listen for yourself. You'll hear sincerity, invention, passion, and a longing for truth and redemption. You'll hear the soul of a 21st Century Troubadour
