Whipsmart songwriter, electrifying guitarist and lap steel player, and gru!, commanding vocalist Selwyn Birchwood is one of the blues’ brightest young stars. His third album amazes with potent rhythms, startlingly fresh lyrics and jawdropping musicianship. Selwyn’s first two releases, 2014’s Don’t Call No Ambulance and 2017’s Pick Your Poison have scanned over 16,000 units combined.

Alligator publicity and social media teams will be spreading the word for an artist who has been featured on NPR’s World Café, Rolling Stone, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, The Chicago Tribune, No Depression, Blurt, ROCKS (Germany), Blues Matters (UK), Classic Rock The Blues (UK), Blues & Rhythm (UK) and Rootstime (Belgium).

Living In A Burning House will be serviced and promoted for regular rotation airplay and blues shows in Canada, Europe, and Australia, and with internet music programmers around the world.

A tireless live performer, Selwyn has logged over 150 dates a year since his 2014 debut, burning up club, theatre and festival stages in the U.S., UK, Canada, Holland, Belgium, Denmark, France, Switzerland, Spain, Russia and Poland. Dates in support of the new release will begin as soon as they are feasible.

Produced by Grammy winner Tom Hambridge (Buddy Guy, Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, Susan Tedeschi), Living In A Burning House is a master class in distinctive, contemporary roots music and positively brimming with instantly catchy lyrics, undeniable grooves and some of the most exhilarating guitar playing in any genre. Thirteen compelling originals include horn-fueled declarations of love, rocking reflections on modern life and low and slow ballads, all bound by Selwyn’s raw, urgent vocals.
