From the Collectible Escalators website:

An accomplished painter and poet, Shorthand P. Davis lives in Muncie, Indiana, with his wife and son. His music traces a path back to Woodie Guthrie with a rough-hewn delta vibe, and the man knows to embrace the technology at hand and record himself with fierce DIY gusto. He records with a minimum of equipment: a couple of guitars, toy keyboards, a beat-up microphone, a harmonica.
