Doug Davis

Happy to welcome Doug Davis back to Gas Hill Drinking Room on April 13, 2024, with special guests Secret Monkey Weekend! Doors at 7 PM, show at 8 PM. Tickets are on sale NOW at TheRamkat.com! Doug Davis is another one of those middle-aged white guys with a Telecaster, making music on the indie/Americana/rootsy/singer-songwriter spectrum. Do we need another? Probably not. What Doug brings to the table, however, is a ridiculously deep pocket of songwriting experience and an impressive resume of working-band experience that’s helped him hone his stage show over the last few decades. He’s been a fixture on the southeastern regional scene for many years, as a producer, sideman, a leader of the Triad community project the Vagabond Saints' Society, a founding member of club bands like The Breakfast Club and the Plaids, and as an all-around musical instigator. He’s also been known to moonlight as Fake Mick Jagger in Triangle-area Stones band, Beggars Banquet. But his heart lies in his original music. Doug also performs and writes with NC-based roots-rock band, Magnolia Green. Doug has also performed with Chris Stamey, Mitch Easter, Alejandro Escovedo, Robyn Hitchcock, Sally Spring, Mark Kano, Artie Lamonica (the Shirts), Jerry Chapman, and many others, and he’s opened for Cracker, The Smithereens, Tift Merritt, Smashmouth, Sister Hazel, and many others. His music has been featured in dozens of television shows and films, including "Saturday Night Live," "Dateline," "The Voice," and "Last Call With Carson Daly." Secret Monkey Weekend is a family rock trio from Durham, NC that have been playing clubs, festivals and civic events since 2017. High school senior Ella handles the bass. 7th grader Lila is a powerful drummer and lead singer Papa Jefferson is on guitar and vocals.
