Always very excited to be playing live, here’s Snake Davis with his 4-piece band, with guitar, bass guitar and drums. Something for everybody, from floaty to dance-able, from soul, northern soul, through pop to jazz and world, original material and classic sax pieces such as ‘Baker Street’ and ‘Night Train’.
He is one of the most in-demand rock soul and jazz sax players in the world, widely known for his solos on tracks such as Lisa Stansfield’s “Change”, M-People’s “Search for A Hero” and “Moving on Up” Klingande’s ‘Jubel’ and Take That “A Million Love Songs”. He has played and recorded with artists ranging from James Brown to Tina Turner to Paul McCartney, The Eurythmics to Amy Winehouse.
As a session player to the stars, he plays arenas and stadiums, but his greatest love is to play intimate venues as himself, his own music choice with his favourite musicians.
Playing the saxophone family as well as flutes, whistles and the ancient Japanese wind instrument, the Shakuhachi, and vocals, it is his total passion and commitment to every note that draws people in.
