Nick Davisson

Fairmont, West Virginia, native Nick Davisson, 24, is a rising artist who says he’s been playing music since he was “big enough to hold a guitar.” Nick’s musical style can be described as an accumulation of many influences, from pop, blues, and rock to organic and rootsy country sounds. A former WVU wide receiver, Nick comes by his talent for music honestly as the son and nephew (respectively) of journeymen Donnie and Chris Davisson of the Davisson Brothers Band. This past summer and fall, Davisson was on tour as the support act for folk/pop singer-songwriter Colbie Caillat (“Bubbly”) on her Coco 15th Anniversary Tour, which included 20 stops in cities such as Dallas, San Diego, Los Angeles, Nashville, etc. Caillat first spotted Davisson at a Friday night acoustic gig at a Nashville bar. A friend of Caillat’s approached the stage to ask if Davisson knew any of Caillat’s songs. Davisson launched into “Bubbly” and spoke with Caillat afterward. Caillat eventually brought her manager to see him, invited Davisson to play harmonica on her new album, then asked him to join her tour.
