This week, Christopher Davis-Shannon played a version of Brad Hinton's 'Mourning Dove' for the inaugural release of Cover Club. With hindsight it was clearly a perfect pick, but it took a certain amount of serendipity to make it happen!
I was first introduced to Christopher Davis-Shannon by mistake!?! The quick version of the story goes like this: A friend tagged a picture on Instagram of Davis Howley of Commonwealth Choir. Turns out the "wrong" Davis was tagged, but a response of "I'm not the right Davis, but I like your pic" was gained!
I first saw "Topher" playing with Dani Mari at the Brandywine Folk Festival. I made sure I had the "right" Davis that time when I met him in person!
Christopher Davis-Shannon again popped into the peripheral when playing with Chelsea Mitchell recently at Johnny Brenda's! Peter Joseph, who was also playing that night, is the audio engineer of Break Neck Studio. After playing together, Peter wanted to bring him on board for Cover Club. It just so happened that someone else needed to postpone their session. I had seen his lovely ditty of 'Little Black Dress'. Why not?
How can you make a connection with Christopher Davis-Shannon? Well, if you missed his Philly Sings Philly performance, playing solo and with Cask & Co, you're still in luck!

Here's a little bit of what's going on in the musical world of Christopher Davis-Shannon
- Bus Stop Cafe in Pitman, NJ - Friday November 15th, which is a lovely lovely place!
- Philly Sings Philly - The Fire November 19th for a 2nd week to play with Kevin Killen
- Florida with Bill Haley Jr. and the Comets playing both Tampa & Miami
What else is upcoming this winter?
"Lover's League is
working on the first album and getting ready to start booking a little
tour to promote things, we'll be doing a mix of Dani Mari, Reverend TJ McGlinchey, and my own songs
live, so it'll end up being a nice little collective project."
What about some Christopher Davis Shannon materials?
"I'll be
ramping up solo stuff in the city as my season dies down for a couple
months (which is wonderful, I'll get to sleep) before heading to New
Zealand for a tour with the Bill Haley early next year. Hopefully in
that downtime I'll get in the studio and release a new solo EP!"
