Our first Friday show of the New Year at St Harmonica’s Blues Club features the magnificent Connor Selby and his stellar band. Since Connor first performed for us some years back at our previous venue as a youngster, providing the half-time support, he has been voted the UK Blues Forum’s Young Artist of the year 3 times running and become one of the biggest names in British Blues. As well as supporting the Who, Connor has become the go to support act for a number of the greats of World Blues when they visit the UK including Beth Hart, Robert Cray and Joanne Shaw Taylor
This young bandleader-guitarist-vocalist draws on influences as diverse as B.B. King, Ray Charles, Free and Nick Drake, creating a soulful blend of hard-hitting blues and emotional, introspective song writing which, at times, evokes a modern take on the best of the British blues boom of the 1960’s. Connor Selby is fast becoming one of the giants of the blues scene at home and abroad - don't miss him along with his exceptional band.
