The Incomparable Selwyn Birchwood

"Watch out for Selwyn Birchwood...a genius revelation and a pleasure. Roaring Fender Strat and down-south lap steel guitar" --Blues MattersAlligator Records is pleased to announce the signing of Florida's rising young blues star, Selwyn Birchwood, the winner (in a field of over 125 other bands) of the 2013 International Blues Challenge. Birchwood is a guitar and lap-steel-playing bundle of pure energy who delivers his original songs with a revival tent preacher's fervor and a natural storyteller's charisma. He plays high-octane blues -- at once deeply rooted, funky and up-to-the-minute -- with true passion and honest emotion. Living Blues says, "Selwyn Birchwood is making waves, surprising people and defying expectations. Be on the lookout. He revels in the unexpected."
