BRUNSWICK — UUCB Concerts for a Cause is set to present blues performer Guy Davis at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Brunswick at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 12, to raise money for the Brunswick Area Teen Center and Maine Family Planning.

Davis won the “Keeping the Blues Alive” Award and was nominated by The Blues Foundation for Best Acoustic Album of the Year, Best Acoustic Artist of the Year, and Best Instrumentalist. He’s been nominated nearly two dozen times by the Blues Foundation.

Guy’s performances always feature a mix of his original songs and cover songs by Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, Mance Lipscombe, Blind Willie McTell, Leadbelly, Blind Lemon Jefferson and many others.

He uses a blend of Roots, Blues, Folk, Rock, Rap, Spoken Word, and World Music to comment on the frustrations of social injustice and common life struggles. His background in theater is pronounced through the lyrical storytelling of songs “God’s Gonna Make Things Over” about the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. His storytelling is sometimes painful, deep, meant to create thought, underlined by gentle tones from his guitar or banjo fingerpicking.

Tickets are $25 in advance, $30 at the door, and $10 for students/children and will be available at the church office, Gulf of Maine Books, or at ticketstripe.com/guydavis.
