In 2006 Rhad started recording with Jim Begley at The Studio in Portland, Me.
In April of 2007 Rhad had the pleasure of working with Grammy Winner Adam Ayan of GATEWAY MASTERING
to put the finishing touches on the CD.
Local Graphic Designer Melissa Carter put the artwork together and the CD is now available at
www.rhaddavis.com,
as well as online at sites such as iTunes, Rhapsody, Amazon, Msn Music, Napster, etc..

Rhad Davis is a Maine native Singer/Songwriter who has been performing throughout New England since 1998. A self-taught musician since age 7, Rhad has become fluent in Piano, Guitar, Bass and Drums.
Rhad spent 10 years playing with former band
TRIBE DESCRIBE throughout New England, releasing 3 CDs. (1 officially.)
Now persuing his solo career, Rhad just released his debut album 'Will it Come'. His voice and music have been compared to Cat Stevens, James Taylor, Ray Manzarek (The Doors), and Ian Anderson. Rhad's serious blues and jazz influences are apparent, as he seemlessly switches up his repertoire melding several genres of music into a single set.
In November of 2007, Rhad added Bass and Drums to his set by way of Jason Ayers on Drums (Former Tribe Describe Band Mate), and Fred Morin on Bass. This addition has opened many musical doors for Rhad and offers a unique show to all listeners. The trio is billed as 'Rhad Davis and the Works'.
