Florida's rising young blues star Selwyn Birchwood received both the Blues Music Award and Living Blues Critics’ Award for Best Debut Album Of 2014 for his Alligator Records debut, DON’T CALL NO AMBULANCE. Birchwood is a guitar and lap-steel-playing bundle of pure energy who delivers his original songs with a revival tent preacher's fervor and a natural storyteller's charisma. He plays high-octane blues -- at once deeply rooted, funky and up-to-the-minute -- with true passion and honest emotion.
