SUMMARY:Selwyn Birchwood
DESCRIPTION:Ticket prices on our website reflect all-in pricing for purchases made online or by phone.  This means the price you see includes the ticket price plus MUTO’s ticket processing fee. Tickets may be purchased with no included fees in person at The Ark during box office hours. \nRolling Stone calls award-winning Florida musician Selwyn Birchwood “a remarkable\, contemporary bluesman…a powerhouse young guitarist and soulful vocalist.” Now\, this mesmerizing guitarist\, lap steel master and cinematic songwriter unleashes the powerful new self-produced album\, Electric Swamp Funkin’ Blues\, further blazing his own musical trail.\n \nBirchwood’s sound is an intoxicating mix of deep blues\, blistering\, psychedelic-tinged rock\, booty-shaking funk and sweet Southern soul\, played and sung with true blues passion. From an emotionally devastating whisper to a soul-baring scream\, Birchwood’s vocals command attention. Schooled in the blues’ storied traditions (he toured with and was mentored by the famed Sonny Rhodes)\, Birchwood maps out a dazzling future for the blues with his visionary music.\n \nLive\, Birchwood is a true force of nature. A favorite among blues fans and jam band fans alike\, his ability to win over an audience—any audience—is proven night after night. With his warm\, magnetic personality\, Birchwood is as down-to-earth as his music is electrifyingly jaw-dropping. With his band feeding off his energy\, the 6’3” musician roams the stage barefoot\, ripping out memorable guitar licks with ease\, his soulful\, rocks-and-gravel vocals impossible to ignore. When he sits down to play his signature model Caladesi lap steel\, he magically lifts the crowd into a sweat-soaked state of blissful elation. Mega-star Joe Bonamassa raves\, “Selwyn Birchwood has become one of my favorite discoveries. He puts on a great show.”  \nWith Electric Swamp Funkin’ Blues\, Selwyn Birchwood and his band perform with an irresistible urgency. Live\, as they travel the world\, they bring the joyful intensity of their music directly to their fans. As Birchwood sings in the title track\, “the music is the mission.” It’s a “creation of joyful jubilation.”
