Not a newcomer but it's new blood for contemporary blues music. Born in Florida in 1985, Selwyn Birchwood has published with this ready-to-release "Living In A Burning House" three albums, all with the Chicago's Alligator Records label and all of them essential to illustrate how good the health of the blues is today with musicians like him. Guitarist who manifests himself a master in slide and lap-steel, singer and excellent composer, Birchwood launched his blues band in 2010, won the IBC edition in 2013 and a year later signed a contract with Alligator releasing his first album in 2014 being a sensation among media and fans which led him to win the award for best debut artist at the 2015 BMAs. In a short space of time Selwyn Birchwood has laid the foundations for a throne that will undoubtedly reach to him more sooner rather than later.
