Loren Davidson - "Escape Artist"

About Me

Loren Davidson calls himself an “escape artist.” This has nothing to do with strait jackets and piranha-filled tanks. Loren’s art inspires and encourages others to escape from whatever is bringing them stress in their daily lives by exploring visions of life as it could be, sitting on a warm beach with a cold drink, even if only in their imagination. It’s a virtual vacation to Key West and other points south, warm, and relaxing. A Loren Davidson concert is like taking that mini-vacation at a moment’s notice.
Loren’s newest album, Every Day’s a Holiday, shows how to take whatever’s going on in your life—bad days at work, relationship woes, or stress-inducing traffic—make the best of it and reduce the stress in it with a little bit of “tropical attitude.”
The title song looks at how getting laid off can be a blessing in disguise—if you’re going to be out of work for a while, take the opportunity to treat it as a holiday instead, and escape defining yourself by your job title.
No need to make reservations or go through security; just walk in, sit down, and be transported to the Paradise in your own mind. It’s like therapy, only cheaper and lots more fun. Loren will show you how to make lemonade out of your lemons and margaritas out of your limes.
Loren currently lives, works, and plays in the San Francisco Bay Area.
