Omschrijving

British troubadour Connor Selby will release a Deluxe Edition of his eponymous debut album on 3 March via Provogue/Mascot Label Group. The deluxe version will include 4 bonus tracks.

Connor is one of the brightest talents on the UK blues scene. He has been voted “Young Artist of the Year” at the UK Blues Awards for the last three consecutive years (2020, 2021, 2022). Raised in an Essex village, he has trodden a path less travelled. From early years in Connecticut, USA, as a young child to Dubai, UAE, aged ten to fourteen, and Essex either side, with those young eyes soaked up the travels and the changes passing him by.

As a teenager, he devoured the music of Eric Clapton and Ray Charles – “Ray completely reshaped me as a person and the way I thought about music.” But he also draws influence from old Delta records to soul artists like Sam Cooke, Bill Withers and the Stax sound to Jazz singers such as Billie Holiday and Frank Sinatra as well as singer-songwriters; Van Morrison, Townes van Zandt, Bob Dylan, Nick Drake and contemporary artists like Ray LaMontagne, Norah Jones and Foy Vance.
