In addition to being a vocalist, guitarist, composer, and keyboardist, Daryl is a professional actor and author. In 1985, 72 year-old Pinetop Perkins, one of the founding fathers of Boogie Woogie and considered to be one of the greatest Blues and Boogie pianists, selected 27 year-old Daryl Davis to succeed him in the piano and vocal slot of the Muddy Waters Legendary Blues Band. Johnnie Johnson, Chuck Berry’s original pianist, has praised Daryl’s ability to master with authenticity, a style that was popular 30 years before he was born. As a performer, Daryl Davis has worked with countless greats such as Elvis Presley’s Jordanaires, The Coasters and he is a long-standing, regular player, in Chuck Berry’s current band.
