Dave Davies, a cornerstone of 1960s rock, helped shape the signature distorted guitar tone that defined The Kinks and influenced generations of players. As a founding member and lead guitarist of The Kinks since 1963, Davies’ influence extends beyond the band’s unleashing of garage-rock anthems to his acclaimed solo work. He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1990 as part of The Kinks. This page highlights his remarkable biography, notable discography, and the latest on his touring plans.
