My name is Christian Edward Davis, my friends call me Hat.
I’ve been performing, recording, and teaching music in Winnipeg for over 30 years. I’ve worked with players of all levels. From wide eyed first timers to full time touring pros, and the truth is, we’re all figuring it out as we go. One good tip at the right time can make the difference between frustration and flow.
Here at The Getaway, we host weekly events where new voices, seasoned players, and everything in between share the stage. This blog is an extension of that spirit. Whether you’re picking up your instrument for the first time or getting back into the groove, we’re building this for you.
Each week we’ll post a short, no fluff tip, practical, actionable, and focused on one specific idea. From breath warm-ups to pedalboard setups, from stage prep to songwriting breakthroughs, all drawn from real experience and tested in real time.
What to Expect
- 1 tip a week, always less than a 5-minute read.
- Occasional video demos, gear walk-throughs, or “try this today” exercises.
- A focus on growth, not perfection.
How to Get Involved
- Comment if a tip helped you, or if you’ve got one to add.
- Tag us if you try something out.
- DM if you’ve got a question, we may build a tip around it.
This isn’t a masterclass. It’s a conversation. Welcome to Musician Tips.
