Selwyn Birchwood
Fogartyville favorite Selwyn Birchwood returns to Sarasota in support of his new album, “Old School,” which showcases his songwriting against a rich canvas of upright acoustic bass and sophisticated grand piano hearkening back to the traditional Blues pioneers that cultivated this timeless music!
Although the award-winning Florida musician is firmly rooted in the tradition, the young guitarist, lap steel player, songwriter and vocalist sets a course for the future of the blues with his visionary, original music.
Birchwood, whose band features the pulsating interplay of his blistering guitar with Regi Oliver’s driving baritone sax, deploys a singular sound and style all his own. He calls it “Electric Swamp Funkin’ Blues,” an intoxicating mix of deep blues, blistering, psychedelic-tinged rock, booty-shaking funk and sweet Southern soul, played and sung with the fire-and-brimstone fervor of a revival tent preacher with a hellhound on his trail.
Tastemaker Americana music magazine No Depression says, “Selwyn Birchwood reaches back in the blues tradition to launch something out of this world.
