Ethan Daniel Davidson is a veteran singer-songwriter and "performance philosopher" whose music sits at the intersection of gritty Americana, haunting folk, and unvarnished blues. After a decade-long "Six Year Tour" where he played over 900 shows across the U.S. and a period of living in the Alaskan wilderness, Davidson has built a prolific body of work that spans fourteen studio albums. His songwriting is deeply literary, earning him comparisons to icons like Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan for his ability to weave complex, philosophical narratives into homespun melodies.

For this special engagement at Manchester Underground, Davidson will be joined by his full band to bring the expansive sound of his latest records to life. His recent releases, Cordelia and Lear, showcase a shift toward a raw, "back porch" sound that blends cosmic country textures with the immediate energy of hill-country punk blues. This full-band arrangement promises to elevate Davidson’s signature storytelling, adding rich instrumental depth to his evocative, often dark explorations of the human experience.

Audiences can expect a high-energy yet intimate performance that captures the spirit of his live recordings in Mississippi. With a voice that Magnet Magazine describes as a throwback to the legendary folk singers of generations past, Davidson and his band deliver a sonic journey that is as intellectually stimulating as it is musically profound. Don't miss this rare opportunity to see one of Michigan’s most prolific and enigmatic artists in a powerful full-band setting.
