01. Davey Carey

I was born in Austin, Texas on December 22, 1947, graduated McCallum High School in 1966 and Southwest Texas State University in 1971 with a BA in History. I’ve written several plays. “Hamlet the Dane”, a comedy, received a full production at Capitol City Playhouse in 1991. “Chanteuse”, a musical, had two complete productions (The Silver Spur Theater in Salado, 2011, and The City Theatre in Austin, 2012) and a CD and an ASCAPlus Award in 2011. My next musical, “Bluebonnet Road” has a CD released in 2020. A stage production of it was put on hold due to COVID-19. I am also a singer/songwriter, a poet and a novelist with five books available at Amazon.com, one of which is called “Primitive Life”.
