Garden Party with Blake Davis ft Downtempbowl & Brittany Harlin

About our headliner:

BLAKE DAVIS

Love, just love. 
 Blake Davis (vocals) is a vocalist, producer, and writer. Born with Southern Baptist gospel roots, music was part of every moment of his life growing up. Davis came to Chicago in 2011 from Aurora, IL, and attended Columbia College Chicago, where he studied jazz vocal performance. In turn, this catapulted him into various artistic avenues. Since then, Blake has cultivated his sound of soul through collaborating with his community, working alongside independent Chicago artists such as @Noname, @Phoelix, @theMind, @Smino, and so many more. Moment to moment, still with momentum, Blake’s music Aims for a positive impact on Humanity. Connecting the bridges where our very souls laugh & cry across.
