Florida's Selwyn Birchwood Band, 1st Place
finishers
at the 2013 International Blues Challenge, will be making
their first return trip in three years to Gainesville to play
at the High Dive, courtesy of the
North CentralFlorida Blues Society.
The Wall Street Journal says he is "fiery and original." Rolling
Stone calls him a powerhouse player and emotive performer.
But Florida fans have known for years that Selwyn Birchwood
is a rising star in the industry and one to watch, always
delivering passionate and entertaining performances.
“There’s nothing else I’d rather be doing than playing and
performing,” Alligator Records recording artist Birchwood
says. “We try to convey that to the audience with every
show. When you see us, you see a band that is just as
happy to see you as you are to see us.”
Birchwood's impressive band, which includes saxophonist
Regi Oliver (currently featured in the August issue
of JAZZ & BLUES FLORIDA), bassist Huff Wright and drummer
Courtney "Big Love" Girlie, deliver high-octane blues,
deeply rooted, funky and up-to-the-minute, played with
passion and honest emotion. You will clearly see and
hear why he’s one of the young guns making a big
splash in the Blues, a genre often associated with
older performers.
