Selwyn Birchwood (Matinee)

Emerging blues sensation Selwyn Birchwood is the genuine article. With a bold, contemporary twist on the genre, he reinvents blues traditions while staying true to their essence.” —Guitar World

Award-winning Florida artist Selwyn Birchwood is deeply grounded in blues heritage, yet as a gifted guitarist, lap steel player, songwriter, and vocalist, he forges an innovative path forward with his original, forward-thinking sound. His band thrives on the electrifying chemistry between his searing guitar work and Regi Oliver’s powerhouse baritone sax, creating a signature style Birchwood dubs “Electric Swamp Funkin’ Blues.” This intoxicating blend weaves together raw Delta blues, scorching psychedelic rock, hip-shaking funk, and soulful Southern grooves—all delivered with the fiery intensity of a revival preacher chased by a hellhound.

As No Depression puts it: “Selwyn Birchwood taps into the heart of the blues to propel it into uncharted territory.”
