Living In A Burning House

Description

Songwriter Whipsmart, electrifying guitarist and lap steel player, and burly, imposing singer Selwyn Birchwood is one of the brightest young stars in blues. His third album astonishes with powerful rhythms, surprisingly fresh lyrics, and breathtaking musicality. Following the remarkable enthusiasm surrounding his true debut album (two self-produced albums prior) released in 2014, "Don’t Call No Ambulance," which won the "Blues Music Award" in 2015 for Best New Artist Album, and his second album released in 2017, "Pick Your Poison," which enjoyed the same success, this new album confirms that SELWYN BIRCHWOOD is now well established in the scene and is no longer a "Revelation"! An tireless live performer, Selwyn has played over 150 dates a year since his debut in 2014, lighting up the stages of clubs, theaters, and festivals in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, the Netherlands, Belgium, Denmark, France, Switzerland, Spain, Russia, and Poland. Produced by Grammy winner Tom Hambridge (Buddy Guy, Christone "Kingfish" Ingram, Susan Tedeschi), "Living In A Burning House" is a masterclass in distinctive contemporary roots music, overflowing with instantly catchy lyrics, undeniable grooves, and exhilarating guitar playing across all genres. Thirteen fascinating originals include heart-fueled love declarations, rock reflections on modern life, and low, slow ballads, all tied together by Selwyn's raw and urgent voice. Selwyn draws his influences from Rock, Southern R&B, and Funk to take us towards a spicy Blues… As soon as the conditions are right, he will be back on stage, particularly in France, a country he has already visited several times to promote his previous albums.
