Aaron Davis & The Mystery Machine - Zemurray (Live at The Gryphon Theatre 10-4-20)

“Aaron Davis is an essential force in the Americana roots music scene in Wyoming” (JH Community Radio, KHOL). Wyoming-based, Kentucky native Aaron Davis stages his songs with poetic amplitude and a deep well of old-time and modern sonic textures—voice, acoustic & resonator & lap steel guitars, open back banjo, harmonica, mandolin, foot percussion, and tailor-made phrase sampling and analog simulations. Aaron is chiefly known as co-founder of national touring act Screen Door Porch, as engineer-producer-session player at his Three Hearted Recording Studio, and for the eclectic quartet Aaron Davis & The Mystery Machine. Aaron’s solo shows are versed in both improvisations and intricate arrangements, working the lesser-worn corners of the American musical fabric through an unconventional lens with a downhome fusion of alt-country, groovy slide blues, story folk, gypsy grass, Western swing, and funky roots rock—often bridged with stories of unsung characters. Nearly two decades of touring the country and staying true to the write-and-record troubadour sensibility has led the press to describe Aaron as “a combination that goes down like top-shelf bourbon” (Austin Chronicle) with "a searing slide guitar" (Country Weekly), and “a particularly standout approach that mixes poetry, groove and roughness” (Lonestar Time). Recognizing Aaron’s twelve-album discography, the “truly phenomenal songwriter” (Americana UK) with “lyrical prowess” (JH Buckrail) was one of two composers in Wyoming to be awarded a Performing Arts Music Fellowship from the National Endowment of the Arts—“a merit-based honor for an artist’s work in their field.” He has been fortunate to share bills with many of his heroes including Wilco, Willie Nelson, Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit, Buddy Guy, Sam Bush, Brian Wilson, Steve Earle, Grace Potter, Sarah Jarosz, Justin Townes Earle, and James McMurtry. Most recently, Aaron embarked on once-in-a-lifetime recording endeavor—The WyoFolk Project—in which he produced-recorded-mixed a compilation album featuring fourteen of Wyoming's celebrated songwriters performing new works at his studio. His twelfth release, Medicine EP (2023), features four original songs bound by medicinal themes, recorded in Austin with longtime collaborators.
