CHRIS DAVIS

Raised in Fairborn, Ohio, Chris grew up amidst a family of talented musicians. His grandfather, Elzie Davis, and his father, Danny, instilled a love for bluegrass in both Chris and his brother, Wes, at an early age. With both parents supporting their interest, the family started performing at local festivals with Chris on bass. When he was 15 years old, Chris’ dad gave him a mandolin and the instrument inspired him to keep learning.

Chris started his musical career playing with The Bluegrass Strangers, In May of 2002, he joined the Georgia-based, up and coming group, Honi Deaton & Dream. This lead him to play an important role as tenor singer and mandolin player for Larry Cordle and Lonesome Standard Time. He now joins Marty Raybon and Full Circle on mandolin and fiddle, and has established himself as a wonderful musician and heartfelt vocalist. His exciting stage presence is a plus for audiences and band mates. With a humble and outgoing personality, on and off the stage, Chris quickly becomes a fan favorite at shows.
