Davy Knowles

Davy Knowles is an exceptional blues/rock guitarist who brings to mind the heyday of sixties British rythmn ‘n blues and yet this is no retrospective as he makes the sound his own and brings it smack into the twenty first century.

Britain’s most enigmatic roots guitarist since the heyday of the Yardbirds, 22-year-old Isle Of Man-born Davy Knowles returns to the UK  this April with his band Back Door Slam and his brand new album Coming Up For Air,  which was released in November last year by Blixstreet Records.

Knowles will be playing four dates across the UK taking in Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham and London in support of Coming Up For Air. The album has received much critical acclaim in the UK over the last couple of months including articles in The Sunday Times Culture, Classic Rock and appearances on BBC Breakfast TV , BBC London and Kerrang radio.

Knowles last gig in the UK in February this year was to a packed and eager 100 Club that saw Davy perform a truly masterful and mesmerizing set, how I wish I coiuld have experienced that gig in such inviting and intimate surroundings.

The Isle of Man native is proving that blues/rock guitar could very well be the next big thing with a style that unites young and old blues followers. The ever-expanding army of Davy Knowles fans will surely agree! You can catch him at one of the following dates.

Sunday 4th April – King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut, Glasgow

Monday 5th April   – Night and Day Café, Manchester

Tuesday 6th – 02 Academy, Birmingham

Wednesday 7th – Bush Hall, London
