Jesse Davey with The Robin Davey Blues Mob Blue Cafe
Robin Davey (born 29 December 1975, St Austell, Cornwall, England) is an English musician, record producer, musical director and photographer.
Davey was a founding member of the British blues band, The Hoax, who were signed to East West Records in 1994 and released their debut album Sounds Like This to critical acclaim. Q magazine likened the band to the Yardbirds and The Rolling Stones and gave the album a 4 star review. The album was produced by Mike Vernon whose early work included Fleetwood Mac and John Mayall's Blues Breakers (with Eric Clapton).
The Hoax split in 1999 having released four albums and shortly after Davey formed the Davey Brothers, a blues rock outfit with his older brother Jesse. The duo signed to Interscope records via David A. Stewart's Weapons Of Mass Entertainment Label. The Davey Brothers' song "Heart Go Faster" was featured over the closing credits in the film Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life and featured on the soundtrack album. The Davey Brothers split in 2006 having never released anything through Interscope Records.
In 2004 Davey played bass guitar on the Alfie soundtrack and also performed on tracks for the Be Cool soundtrack in 2005.
In 2006 Davey directed his debut feature documentary The Canary Effect, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and was also awarded the Stanley Kubrick Award for Bold and Innovative Film Making at Michael Moore's Traverse City Film Festival the same year.
In 2006 Davey also formed his current band The Bastard Fairies with Native American artist and singer Yellow Thunder Woman. The band released their debut album Memento Mori for free download late that year and shortly after signed to Adrenaline Records. In 2007 an extended physical version of the album with 5 bonus tracks was released on CD.
in 2009 Davey embarked on a European tour with his former band The Hoax. The band recorded the shows for release of a live album and DVD.
Davey recently admitted to being the creator of the Gutbucket Slim's Blues Emporium album. The album is a mash up of old blues recording featuring artists such as Leadbelly, Howlin' Wolf mixed with more contemporary artists Mos Def, Christina Aguilera and Charles Bukowski. The album is available as a free download.
2010 saw the release of the Wolfbox album from The Davey Brothers.
In 2010 Davey's band The Bastard Fairies also released the single "DIRTY SEXY KILL KILL" and EP "Man Made Monster.
In late 2010, Davey reported through his facebook page that has teamed up with singer/artist Greta Valenti for a new project called Well Hung Heart. Davey plays simultaneous guitar and bass in the three piece outfit based in Southern California. The band made their European debut in 2011 as part of "Hoaxfest"

Guitar jam - The Robin Davey Blues Mob
The Robin Davey Blues Mob is the latest project from the award winning British Blues musician and inductee into the British Blues Hall of Fame. Davey has built an illustrious career on both sides of the atlantic and been fortunate to work with some of the most famous names in the international blues scene. Fusing his incendiary guitar techniques into a powerhouse 3 piece, the new line-up recalls the heady days of a Brit Blues-Rock scene where Hendrix and Cream where the order of the day.
Robin Davey was born in the UK during the late 70's and started his career in music touring the world with his band The Hoax, a highly acclaimed and multi award winning British Blues outfit. The Hoax played over 2000 shows and shared the stage with BB King, Buddy Guy and Jimmie Vaughan. In Europe the band would headline festivals alongside artists like Matchbox Twenty and the Dave Mathews Band.
After The Hoax split in 1999, Davey went on to produce the 2003 eponymous album by native Blues-Rockers 'Indigenous'. The album debuted at number 3 on the Billboard Blues Charts and spawned the top 30 radio hit 'C'mon Suzie'. Davey also recorded alongside Mick Jagger, Joss Stone and Dave Stewart of Eurythmics, on the Golden Globe winning soundtrack 'Alfie'.
In 2006 Davey took a year off music to produce and direct the feature documentary 'The Canary Effect'. The movie highlighted the genocide of the American Indian and was a hit at festivals across the world winning the Stanley Kubrick Award at Michael Moores Film Festival.
2007 saw a return to music as one half of the eclectic pop duo The Bastard Fairies. The bands debut album was produced by Davey and has so far amassed over 1 million digital downloads.
2009 will prove to be another busy year for Davey as The Blues Mob gain momentum and gear up for tours on both sides of the atlantic. The Hoax are also set to reform after 10 years for a summer festival tour of Europe and to top it all, the Bastard Fairies will return to the studio to complete work on their second album.
