Met zijn wortels in de traditie cre\u00ebert hij zijn eigen bedwelmende mix van zware blues, psychedelische rock, funk en southern soul, uitgevoerd met het vuur van een rondtrekkende predikant die dreigt met eeuwige verdoemenis. Zelf noemt hij zijn muziek \u00abElectric Swamp Funkin&#8217; Blues\u00bb.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Selwyn werd in 1985 in Florida geboren als zoon van een Britse moeder en een vader uit Tobago. Op 13-jarige leeftijd begon hij wat met de gitaar te spelen, maar grungerock, hiphop of metal spraken hem niet echt aan. In plaats daarvan raakte hij in de ban van de muziek van Jimi Hendrix. Terwijl hij zich realiseerde dat zijn nieuwe held ge\u00efnspireerd was door de blues, werd hij tijdens een concert in Orlando overweldigd door het gitaarspel van Buddy Guy.    Selwyn begon iconen als Albert King, Freddie King en Albert Collins te bestuderen. Op 19-jarige leeftijd werd hem gevraagd om met Sonny Rhodes op tournee te gaan, maar hij sloeg dat aanbod af om zijn universitaire opleiding af te ronden. In 2010 was hij klaar om zijn eigen band op te richten, die drie jaar later de International Blues Challenge won in een competitie met 150 andere bands. Hij heeft meerdere bekroonde albums uitgebracht en nu is hij eindelijk te beluisteren op Dark Season Blues.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-background wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"background-color:#e2e2e2;font-size:12px\"><strong>Dark Season Blues\u00a92023<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Selwyn Birchwood-&quot;Exorcist&quot; OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LFY-tUJ4ev4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Songwriter, gitarist en zanger Selwyn Birchwood wordt geprezen omdat hij de blues een nieuwe richting opstuurt.
