"Soulful, heartfelt roots rock, that stirs the soul and reminds you what true artistry can accomplish."
- Joe Bell - March 2010
"Soulful, rootsy, rock with a heavy folk influence. If you've ever enjoyed records from Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Allman Bros., and the Beatles, then you will inevitably love the sounds of Davin McCoy. His latest album seems to emerge from a music lover's fantasy, exuding a refreshing yet nostalgic feel of simply great music."

He reminds me a lot of Otis Redding, with a little bit of Eddie Hinton and Chris Robinson – he’s got that soul voice that you don’t hear too much from younger singers. His song structures are really cool too – he writes music that has a lot of hooks to it. - Randall Bramblett (Sea Level, Gregg Allman, Steve Winwood, Widespread Panic)

Most singers today are rhythm and pop, not rhythm and blues, Davin is R&B in the truest sense of the genre - Davis Causey (Normaltown Flyers, SeaLevel, The Jesters)

Bio
BACKGROUND:
Davin McCoy is a gifted young singer-songwriter from Georgia who has been making a name for himself lately with his insightful songwriting and impassioned vocals. Inspired by a diverse group of legendary musicians from Ray LaMontagne to Otis Redding, Davin's stage presence and charisma make him a captivating live performer, and now he has a studio album that reflects his many talents.
Musical icons Chuck Leavell (Rolling Stones, Allman Brothers Band) and Randall Bramblett were so impressed with Davin's raw songs that they joined the project and performed along with a borrowed Widespread Panic horn section on his new album So Good, So Cruel. Davin recorded this sophomore album in Athens, GA with longtime friend Casey Crogan on drums and producer Davis Causey (SeaLevel, The Jesters).
Davin previously worked with Clay Cook (John Mayer, Shawn Mullins, Zack Brown, Marshall Tucker) to record his first album and spent some time in London where he took up a publishing deal and continued to write and perform.
With his breakout album just released and already being played across the country, Davin McCoy is focused on hitting the road and performing fulltime throughout the SouthEast and across America.
