Get fired up for two nights of his blistering mix of deep blues\, psychedelic rock\, funk and Southern soul.ABOUT THE ARTISTAlthough award-winning Florida musician Selwyn Birchwood is firmly rooted in tradition\, he sets a course for the future of the blues with his visionary\, original music. Selwyn\, 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\, 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." Live\, Birchwood is a force of nature. His ability to win over an audience—any audience—is proven night after night on the bandstand. With his warm\, magnetic personality\, Birchwood is as down-to-earth as his music is thought-provoking and electrifying. With his band feeding off his energy\, the 6'3" musician roams the stage barefoot\, ripping out memorable guitar licks with ease\, his soulful\, rocks-and-gravel vocals firing up his fans. When he sits down to play his lap steel\, he takes the crowd to a whole other level\, with the music exorcising any bad times and troubles.
