Connor Selby is one of the brightest talents on the UK blues scene. He has all the hallmarks of a guitar prodigy, but unlike many such prodigies he’s all about the songs,
He’s been voted “Young Artist of the Year” at the UK Blues Awards for three consecutive years (2020, 2021, 2022) and 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 also spent 2023 touring the UK as the opening act for Blues and Rock Luminaries Robert Cray and, his labelmate, Beth Hart.
There’s a timeless melancholic quality to his music. Relatable in its honesty and openness, he draws from anxiety and vulnerability but delivers it with a world-worn elegance. The sky is the limit for Selby, who, along with awards, has picked up numerous plays on BBC Radio 2. It’s easy to see why with his soulful blend of blues and his emotionally introspective songwriting, which sits alongside his impressive armoury of guitar playing.
Catch Connor and his band at The Hoochie Coochie Club, live on January 25 2025 at Louth Social Club, Queen Street, Louth LN11 9AU.
