Ward Davis

Ward Davis is an American singer-songwriter recognized for his contributions to country music, both as a solo artist and a prolific songwriter for established musicians. After achieving significant recognition as a prolific songwriter in country music, Ward Davis’s co-written track, ‘I’m Not The Devil’ with Cody Jinks, became a major success in 2016, charting at No. 4 on the Billboard US Country Charts. This followed the release of his acclaimed debut album, ’15 Years in a 10 Year Town,’ in 2015, which notably featured collaborations with country music icons Willie Nelson and Jamey Johnson.

Davis further solidified his reputation by co-writing ‘Unfair Weather Friend’ with Marla Cannon-Goodman, a poignant track recorded by Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard for their final collaborative album, ‘Django and Jimmie.’ This song held particular significance, being played at Merle Haggard’s funeral in 2016, underscoring Davis’s profound impact on the genre. Building on his songwriting momentum, Davis embarked on a nationwide tour with Cody Jinks, further elevating his profile as a performer. Following the widespread success and emotional resonance of ‘Unfair Weather Friend,’ Davis chose to pursue an independent path, focusing on writing and performing his own material outside the traditional Nashville music scene. This strategic move allowed him to further refine his distinct sound and connect directly with his growing fanbase.

Davis’s discography expanded further with the release of his album ‘Black Cats And Crows’ in 2020, followed by ‘Live From An Undisclosed Location in Hays, Kansas’ in 2022. These projects exemplify his consistent output and commitment to his artistic vision, resonating deeply with audiences across the country. As both a celebrated solo artist and an in-demand songwriter, Ward Davis continues to shape the landscape of country music, delivering compelling narratives and performances.
