Bluegrass music’s David Davis and his Warrior River Boys will be among the artists appearing at IBMA World of Bluegrass conference beginning next week.

Davis and the Warrior River Boys will appear as a showcase artist Sept. 29 at 10:05 p.m. as part of the event’s business conference at the Nashville Convention Center. The group is expected to lean heavily on material from their latest release “Two Dimes and a Nickel” (Rebel Records) during their set. For more information, visit www.ibma.org.

“We are excited to be part of this important annual gathering of our industry,” Davis said. “The IBMA serves as a center point for creative minds to develop new paths for bluegrass music. It is an honor to get a chance to share the vision we have with those who will attend.”

His family heritage gave David a strong respect for Monroe and how he created a musical place for himself in the world.

“That was my desire as well,” he said. “I wanted to pull from my influences from the Louvin Brothers to Jimmie Rodgers and the Carter Family, to honor their contributions but at the same time forge a path and sound for myself in the country music industry where many artists simply mimic whatever seems to be popular at the moment.

“Bluegrass is more than just the music that country folks like,” Davis said. “Millions of people, from all backgrounds in countries around the world still tap their toes when they hear Flatt and Scruggs, they are still moved by the high lonesome sound of Bill Monroe or the haunting voice of Ralph Stanley.”

The Warrior River Boys are Marty Hays playing bass, Owen Saunders playing fiddle, Robert Montgomery on banjo and Adam Duke on guitar.
