With a career that has spanned four decades and traversed more than a million miles, versatile singer-songwriter Jimmy Davis is the literal embodiment of the much too often used term “troubadour”. This Memphis, Tennessee native musician, who first graced local stages at age 9, is widely known as one of the most dynamic performers anywhere. Society Hall board member and fellow musician Don Richmond remarks, “When Jimmy was performing at the Big Barn Dance festival in Taos, some of the other performers and I started a make-believe betting pool on when Jimmy would burst into flames on stage. He’s amazing!”

Jimmy Davis’ songs have been recorded by Martina McBride, Restless Heart, Tommy Alverson, Reba Russell, Walt Wilkins, as well as a myriad of other recording artists. As a backing vocalist, Jimmy has lent his extensive vocal talents to projects by numerous recording artists including, The North Mississippi Allstars, Jim Dickinson, Johnny Lang, Bernie Leadon, Keith Sykes, Michael Hearne, Toy Caldwell, Susan Marshall, Mark Collie and William Lee Golden.

Jimmy’s early career featured stints with the country recording artist Charly McClain,  a stretch fronting Jimmy Davis & Junction (signed with MTV’s QMI/MCA record label), and as a member of The Riverbluff Clan, a rocking bluegrass outfit from the 70’s. Jimmy was named “Premier Male Vocalist” five times by the Memphis chapter of the National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences.

Since 2001, Jimmy has recorded and released  several solo albums, including “Jimmy Daddy’s Acoustic Song List”, his best selling “Campfire Songs” in 2006, followed by “BEAGLES: The Blue Album” in 2008, featured Jimmy writing, singing, engineering, and playing all the instruments. In 2009, he release “Jimmy Daddy’s Acoustic Song List Volume II”. 2015 brought another round of home recordings with “BEAGLES: In The Country.”

Jimmy agreed to join the legendary Texas group, Walt Wilkins and the Mystiqueros in 2011, moving permanently to the Texas Hill Country in 2012. When not playing or recording with the Mystiqueros, Jimmy tours playing his songs for fans at festivals, clubs and house concerts.
