Davis recently gained national accolades for her collaboration with Jeff Daniels. The two collaborated and co-wrote “I Am America” for Daniels' 2020 album, "Alive and Well Enough," and the song was played in an online voter awareness campaign before Georgia's run-off election.
Davis is also nominated for Best Soul Blues Female Artist at the 42nd Annual Blues Music Awards, which takes place in June.
