Ward Davis at Chickie Wah Wah

Ward Davis brings his alternative country songbook to Chickie Wah Wah, a Canal Street room made for listening. A Nashville-based singer-songwriter originally from Monticello, Arkansas, Davis pairs raw honesty with sharp wit and a deep love for storytelling. His debut album, 15 Years in a 10 Year Town, featured Willie Nelson and Jamey Johnson, and he has written songs with and toured alongside Cody Jinks, including a Red Rocks appearance with Clint Black and a turn on Conan.

Expect a night of gritty, soulful country songs from a natural conversationalist who finds laughter in the messiness of life. Davis has also written for artists like Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard, and a new album is on the way. With table seating assigned on arrival, the evening has the feel of a late-night session with a barroom philosopher.
