    Carrying an Alabama family tradition, David Davis and the Warrior River Boys offer
    David Davis and the Warrior River Boys will be appearing at the Southern Illinois Bluegrass & BBQ Festival in Salem, Illinois.  www.BluegrassBBQ.comaudiences a rare glimpse at the role of the frontman in American music. In Chicago Blues, it was Muddy Waters and the legendary Howlin’ Wolf. In Bluegrass music, it was Bill Monroe. Rather than operating under trendy “hit” oriented marketing schemes, frontman mandolinist David Davis simply nurtures his roots with integrity, tonal depth, and prose. After a couple of Rounder label projects in the early ‘90’s, David and the band snapped rave reviews with their self-titled 2004 release on Rebel Records - “….sure-fire picking and train whistle harmonies.” USA Today. Their newest 2006 Rebel release, “Troubled Times”, is imbued with the innate sense of purpose that defines David and The Warrior River Boys: carrying an Alabama family tradition.
