Jeff Davis is the man. I’ve had the distinct pleasure of playing with him in a few local bands. He’s doing well in Florida. ??
I have had the pleasure of playing with Stick for many years. He played club dates with me since the 90’s and played on my CD in 2009. He is doing well in Florida, we speak often on fb. He’s a great player and friend.
Where is Russell Smith? We went to school together. Love his music. We already wore out his tape. Where can I get his music?
Hey Jeff,,”Whats Shakin” I would love to here from you,,,Billy E you too!!
Chris and I are in Florida.

jeff davis left nashville after professional and personal disgrace and hid in southern indiana for almost ten years. he now resides with his ex-wife in tampa where he plays the local bar scene.
jeff davis moved to tampa after a long down time after leaving nashville due to a series of poor judgement calls professionally and personally. a bass player who played with bb king, al green and a host of delta blues legends is now playing the local bar scene there basking in what he used to call “people who can’t let fame go”.
if you would like to hear jeff stick davis now days you can catch him with gary hall jr. and the outlaws along with myself (gary hall jr.) , joe doughtery (from the grass roots) on drums, donnie reval on steel guitar, and bob green on keys. contact us at halljr.gary@rocketmail.com
