Ryan Davis performed a solo show on Easter Sunday in an unusual setting, showcasing his new material. The performance included an array of instruments like a melodica, sampler, and drum machine. His new album, "New Threats from the Soul," reflects on themes of love, grief, and existential wonder. Davis's engaging performance, marked by his distinctive country sound and innovative sound selection, offers listeners an experience that defies expectations and showcases his talent for blending different musical elements.
Davis usually tours with the six-piece Roadhouse Band, but that afternoon he performed solo with his guitar, a melodica, a Roland sampler, a drum machine, a couple of effects pedals, a mixer, and a bass sequencer.
Davis is particularly adept at taking an overwhelming feeling-love, grief, existential duress-and diffusing it.
Nothing is exactly where or what you expect it to be, and nothing stays still for very long.
When Davis performed the song in Kingston, his voice had a pleasant country wobble.
