About Matthew Davidson -
"Wonder kid Matthew Davidson may only be 14 but he definitely knows a little something about the blues. Step Up is only a taste of what is to come for Matthew. His mature funk'd out guitar skills are inevitably demonstrative of this kids natural talent and devotion to music. You'll never hear another 14-year-old hone that Louisiana Southern blues-funk rhythm the way that Davidson has. " ~Kimmie Tubre, Where Y'at Magazine, New Orleans, LA - December 2012
"The next generation of stars in Louisiana...Matthew Davidson...14 years old from Shreveport, Louisiana. He is going to be something special. He is right now and he's going to be in the future. You know, you look at Matthew and you think about Hunter Hayes, who Louisiana has watched grow up over the years...(3 Grammy nominations for him this year), so...the future of Louisiana music is in good hands." ~Louisiana Lt. Gov. Jay Dardenne, Louisiana Public Broadcasting - December 2012
"Matthew Davidson is blessed with a God-given, born-in-the-bone, talent. His musicianship is far beyond his age. When I play with Matthew, it's like playing with a musician with many years of experience. Always a perfect gentleman, Matthew's personality shines through in every performance. He obviously loves what he is doing!" ~Joe Osborn, famed "Wrecking Crew" bassist who played on numerous hit records of the 60's - 70's with Glen Campbell, The Carpenters, The 5th Dimension, Simon and Garfunkel and many more

Sucarnochee Revue set for Feb. 9
"The Sucarnochee Revue will record live in Livingston on Feb. 9 at 7 p.m. Held in Bibb Graves Auditorium, the concert will feature guitar phenom Matthew Davidson. Other artists slated to perform include Britt Gully, J. Burton Fuller, Mississippi Chris Sharp and Piper Lauderdale, the Stage Hands, and Jacky Jack White.
Davidson, a Shreveport, La., native, is a fourteen-year-old award-winning guitarist who began performing professionally in 2010. In a recent article, International Musician magazine said Davidson has "achieved an immense amount of recognition, support and admiration."
Davidson's musical influences are as diverse as The Beatles, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Maroon 5 and John Mayer. Davidson is a talented triple-threat: guitarist, vocalist and songwriter, and he performs rock, blues and pop with equal command. In 2012, Davidson released his debut EP "Step Up," produced by Joe Osborn. Matthew was nominated for Offbeat magazine's "Best Emerging Artist" of 2012.
The concert begins at 7 p.m. at Bibb Graves Auditorium on the campus of the University of West Alabama in Livingston, Alabama. Tickets are $8 at the door."
