Small Stars by Doug Davis

I've been quietly working throughout 2020 on a solo album called "Small Stars." It's a collection of what I like to call "small songs": intimate, fairly simple, mostly acoustic songs. The songs are unusually personal songs for me, with a lot more deep emotional connection than the more abstract storytelling I've been largely trading on for a while now. Some of my favorite local musicians make cameos on the album, but much of it is just me. Three of the ten songs were mixed (and had additional musical pixie-dust sprinkled on them) by the wonderful Chris Stamey. All were mastered by Anand Gan.

Much like my colleagues, Beyonce and T-Swift, I've decided to drop it, as the kids say, with little hype or fanfare. Here's the deal: I'm going to release one song per week on my Bandcamp page, and I'll be making a whole lot of little homemade videos, as well.

After years of producing, arranging, and composing for artists from across the country, Doug Davis is going all in as a solo singer-songwriter. Drawing on decades of experience performing with musicians like Chris Stamey, Mitch Easter, Alejandro Escovedo, Robyn Hitchcock, Mark Kano, and so many others, Davis infuses his classic American roots style with a bit of everything from power pop to punk.
