Later\, Davis crossed paths with Afro-punk musicians\, rock artists\, and members of the Black rock & roll scene\, which opened up new worlds of sound.\nBrittany davis is the most compelling artist I’ve ever worked with.

A five-time winner of the Blues Music Award for Traditional Blues Female Artist\, Foley has won a Juno Award among other honors. Touring internationally\, she has shared stages with B.B. King\, Buddy Guy\, Jimmie Vaughan\, and Billy F Gibbons (ZZ Top)\, earning her place among the top tier of blues artists. Her latest release\, One Guitar Woman: A Tribute to the Female Pioneers of Guitar\, was nominated for a 2025 Grammy. On it\, Foley plays acoustic guitar to honor the women who shaped the instrument’s history—from Maybelle Carter and Sister Rosetta Tharpe to Ida Presti and Lydia Mendoza. A passionate scholar as well as a performer\, Foley holds a PhD in Musicology and will release her first book\, Guitar Women\, in 2026. As the Philadelphia Inquirer wrote\, “Foley has a killer voice\, an impossibly alluring blend of sex and innocence to go with those blazing guitar chops.” With One Guitar Woman\, she reclaims history and redefines what a guitar hero can be.\n\n\n\n\n \n Public ticket sales begin May 6\, 2026\, at noon Pacific.
