Stuart will be joined for these shows by songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Ryan Davidson of Chico, CA. The songs of Ryan Davidson combine the traditional folk art of storytelling with an aggressive punk flair. His impassioned voice and energetic presence on stage command attention on any room. The Northern California native was educated in Ireland, and his songs strike a deep emotional chord that moves the heart while inviting the listener to raise a glass and sing along.
