Long regarded as one of the rising stars of British blues guitar in the tradition of Eric Clapton and Peter Green, Connor Selby has now well and truly arrived….
Having already performed with his band at Wembley Stadium at the age of 22, at the behest of The Who he has since gone on to play Hyde Park with Pearl Jam, Stereophonics and Johnny Marr.
Voted as Young Artist of the Year in 2020, 2021, and 2022 at the UK Blues Awards and nominated every year since in other categories, the young bandleader, guitarist, and vocalist draws on influences as diverse as B.B. King, Ray Charles, Free, and Van Morrison. He creates a soulful blend of hard-hitting blues and emotional, introspective songwriting that, at times, evokes a modern take on the best of the music that inspires him.
In 2022, Connor signed to Provogue Records, the blues leg of the Mascot Label Group. His inclusion in a roster featuring some of the most prominent blues artists of the 21st century, including Joe Bonamassa, Eric Gales, and Kenny Wayne Shepherd, among others, solidifies his position as one of the brightest young talents in blues.
Warning: grab your tickets early. He has sold out each of the three times he has played The Bear Club.
