Deb Davis: The Voice of CHERRYWOOD CROSSING:
From the drum kit to center stage, Deb Davis has been a defining force in music for over 40 years. Her career began at age 14, leading to an early recording contract and three regional hits. She later spent two decades fronting her own successful blues-rock band, touring alongside legends like Stevie Ray Vaughan, John Lee Hooker, and Huey Lewis.
After a decade-long hiatus in the business world, a chance meeting with the talented Paul Roush reignited her passion, leading to the formation of CHERRYWOOD CROSSING.
Specializing in a powerful blend of classic rock and soulful blues, the band showcases Deb's signature vocals—a voice famously described as one that can “soothe you one minute then cut you like a razor the next.” With CHERRYWOOD CROSSING, Deb continues to captivate audiences, bringing a lifetime of authentic rock-and-roll spirit to every performance.
Paul Roush: The Guitar Soul of CHERRYWOOD CROSSING
A skillful and versatile guitar player, Paul Roush attributes his commanding style to the late Roy Buchanan and Brian Setzer — two giants whose influence shaped his tone, his technique, and his instinct for making every note count. From country twang to blues grit, Paul absorbed it all and made it his own.
That versatility earned him a spot in some of the most respected local country bands in the region, and he toured with several of them, carving out a reputation as a go-to guitarist in the Dayton music scene. Whether on a honky-tonk stage or in a packed club, Paul had a way of commanding the room without ever overpowering it.
But what truly sets Paul apart is his philosophy. While most guitarists chase the spotlight, Paul believes the best lead in the world means nothing if nobody's listening. His goal has always been simple: play the right song, with the right band, for the right crowd. As a founding member of CHERRYWOOD CROSSING, Paul believes he's finally found exactly that — and every performance proves it.
