CONNOR SELBY

I have been watching this young troubadour Connor Selby's progress for a few years now after I first spotted him at the 100 Club. I find his grasp of and feel for the Blues very soulful and deep. One of the brightest talents on the UK blues scene. He has been voted ?Young Artist of the Year? at the UK Blues Awards for the last 4 years. He already has an impressive venue checklist, including Wembley Stadium, where he opened for The Who in July 2019 and has since gone on to play Hyde Park, London, with Pearl Jam, Stereophonics and Johnny Marr in the summer of 2022. Connor has also opened for such luminaries as Robert Cray and Beth Hart, each time gathering fresh admirers. Here's a review from Jace Media:: " There are many great blues singer guitarists out there right now, including the likes of old Slow Hand himself, Walter Trout and the player who?s probably currently the man of the moment, Joe Bonamassa but believe me, Connor Selby is right up there with them and is one of the very best."

Often compared to The Black Keys, Gary Clark Jr. Cream & The Doors.. Featuring face-melting guitars, groove-ridden basslines, and a multi-instrumentalist drummer simultaneously playing keys, they make a refreshing change.
