Ward Davis

Ward continues to deliver with autobiographical story telling lyrics and a voice to match . The Redbird listening room provides excellent acoustics for an intimate setting that pairs perfectly with Ward’s sense of humor and long and short tales of his life. Three chords and the truth? Ward nails that, no question. His polish and skill stands unmatched. I cannot wait to see him again and hopefully in a setting similar to the Redbird.

Phenomenal show. This was my 10th Ward Davis show (just discovered him about 2 years ago). He just gets better each time I see him. He has such a powerful, rich, truly beautiful baritone voice. AND he is a true entertainer. His stories about his life, and his songs, are so engaging. We enjoyed the show so much. And this venue? We drove approximately 8 hours for this show . . and it was worth it. We had GA and got there about 10 minutes before doors opened in hopes that we'd get a seat. I could not believe what I saw. The owner of the venue (the husband of the couple that owns the bar) greeted each couple / group in line, chatted with them, and escorted them to their seats. Jhett was so personable. He welcomed every single individual bar into the Woodshop. And the food!!! So delish. Outstanding service from the server / bar as well. We will be back the the Woodshop and are already making plans for our next Ward Davis show. (If you've never seen him live . . GO!)

As usual, Ward put on an awesome show. The venue was really nice as . I’m not sure if I prefer the full band or solo acoustic experience better but I lean towards the solo acoustic events. not only are the songs great but his storytelling and a down to earth, raw delivery make for a truly enjoyable evening. Make time to go see him! A must see.

This was my first time at Ryman Auditorium, seeing my favorite artist Ward Davis opening there was an amazing experience that I'll never forget. I was so honored to be there and share this event, not only with Ward, but with my fellow fans!!

Both Ward and the Machine Shop exceeded our expectations. First time being there and seeing him. Can’t wait to go back or see him again. The opening act Billy Gunther and the Midwest Riders was also spectacular and signed my shirt. The only downfall is we live on the other side of the state. Definitely worth the drive though!!!

Ward Davis sounded fantastic. He made us feel like old friends sharing his love for the music and his life experiences. I also Love this venue great sound system friendly staff and it’s very accessible. My only problem is I have a bum hip and can’t stand for that long. But it was easy to get out on the patio and grab a chair for a break. You can still hear the music but the vocals aren’t clear out there.

The Cain’s Ballroom is an event in itself; you feel the presence of the greats who have performed there. Ward Davis, he is humble, kind, funny, a story teller, a life experience sharer, relatable. He’s a gem of a talent in both writing and as a musician.

Phenomenal! Epic! Everyone who loves music should have been there. But, I enjoyed the small venue much more than huge gatherings! Ward Davis is the Artist everyone will enjoy! The Open Chord is pretty near perfect...wish the bar service line was a bit faster. The sound is great! 5 thumbs up!

Ward and his band were supreme as usual. I've come to expect this level of performance from them every time I go out to see them! Awesome show and the opening act Justin Wells was just as good! I couldn't have asked for anything more from either act.

Ward is always great!! He spent some time by the fire visiting with his fans, so down to earth and just a great guy! Ryder's Saloon is a fantastic venue! If you haven't had the opportunity to check out a show at our little honky tonk in the hicks, I strongly suggest you make your way on up! We'd love to have you 🥰

I can not express how gracious Ward was with his time after our boys couldn't get in the show. He gave my boys the alley performance of a lifetime. Thank you so much to Ward Davis, Greg Jones, and Josh Meloy. I can't wait to see them again at the Ryman.

Ward and his band are great guys - very good with the fans and put on a fantastic show. If you like great song writing and top level musicians, you need to go see Ward Davis -- especially if you like Cody Jinks, as they have written many songs together, so you will hear quite a few of the songs that Cody does in his set, but at a fraction of the cost to attend (and just as good!). Go see him before he is playing much larger venues for a much higher price. Also, check out Josh Meloy, who was fantastic as the opener for Ward and is a young man that appears to have a very bright future. I hope to see more shows at this venue. We need more quality shows in northern Wisconsin!

Wow, what an incredible unforgettable show!!! Another SOLD OUT show for Ward. Ward wrote the following comment on his Facebook page the day after this show at Knuckleheads…… “I remember the first time I played Kansas City. 7 years ago. There were about 40 people there. I also remember thinking how awesome it was to get 40 people to show up to hear me, that wanted to hear my songs, and not Wagon Wheel. I honestly thought that was as good as it would get for me. Don't get me wrong, it was great. But I just never figured in a million years I'd get 600 people to buy a ticket with my name on it in Kansas City. It wasn't supposed to happen. But be damned if it didn't. People probably think I'm crazy, sitting in the airport with tears pouring down my face staring at my phone.…typing my old thumbs off. They probably think my girlfriend broke up with me, or I'm flying home to put my dog down..but it's just happy, humbled, grateful, sappy. a*s me. I'll never forget last night. Ever.”

Best concert experience I've ever had! The music was amazing. The on stage performances were awesome. Ward Davis and his band brought their A game. I loved the venue at SideTracks. Taylor Hunnicutt played first and she rocked! I'd never heard of her before but I will be following her in the future. Josh Morningstar came on next. I had heard some of his music before but didn't know how awesome he would be live. I got to meet all of the performers after their sets and got photos with them. They were all super nice. Hands down the best concert I've seen!

Awesome concert started with Talented Clint Park. A man and his guitar and then he went to Piano for Wounded Mind. Amazing Next came Josh Morningstar. Amazing song writer and someone who interacts with the crowd. Great Job Next up was an awesome band with Ward Davis in the lead. None stop on a ride through 15 years in a 10 year town. But Ward keeps grinding and I for one is Thankful for it. The night ended with encore with everyone singing Jerry Lee. Great truthful song about Jerry Lee Lewis. Support your artist who havent sold their souls to be on the radio. Choose Spotify or Pandora. And Please buy their artist CDs just to prove your a fan. Stay True

It was a fun, laid back night. No structured set list made it feel like we were able to watch a personal jam session. The crowd was small, but most seemed to be there to enjoy the show. I think my favorite part of the night may have been Clint Parks accoustic opening. True talent---they sound so good live....no remixing...just amazing talent.

Absolutely amazing show! Ward Davis is talented, humbling and a great human being! His songwriting is superb and his singing touches the soul!! I hope to see much, much more of this man in the future! He puts his whole heart and soul into his shows!!! I can't wait until he opens his own venue! I will be there every step of the way to help promote this amazing man!!

This was a fantastic show. Ward puts on a hell of a show and the guy who opened for him, Tom McElvain, blew me away. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen someone sing that well and powerfully. Any time either of these gentlemen come nearby again, I’m there.
