Rolling Stone calls award-winning Florida musician Selwyn Birchwood a remarkable, contemporary bluesmana powerhouse young guitarist and soulful vocalist. Now, this mesmerizing guitarist, lap steel master and cinematic songwriter unleashes the powerful new album Electric Swamp Funkin Blues, further blazing his own musical trail.

Birchwoods sound is an intoxicating mix of deep blues, blistering, psychedelic-tinged rock, booty-shaking funk and sweet Southern soul, played and sung with true blues passion. From an emotionally devastating whisper to a soul-baring scream, Birchwoods vocals command attention. Schooled in the blues’ storied traditions (he toured with and was mentored by the famed Sonny Rhodes), Birchwood maps out a dazzling future for the blues with his visionary music.

Selwyn Birchwood is one of the hardest-touring artists on the Alligator roster, and will support the new release with shows throughout the U.S. He’s no stranger to European stages either, with plenty of tours there under his belt, and having just completed over a month’s worth of European dates, 27 shows in all, with 24 taking place in France, three in Belgium and one in Czechia.
