Connor Selby

The sky is the limit for Selby, who has picked up numerous awards. It's easy to see why with his soulful blend of blues and his emotionally introspective songwriting. "His songwriting and musical execution is joyously superb…Selby is the real deal." - BLUES MATTERS

"The musicianship of the band is superb and Selby excels on vocals and guitar…an outstanding performer…a 'must see' artist" – FIREWORKS

Young troubadour Connor Selby signed to Provogue Records in December 2022 and has released his major label debut, the self-titled Connor Selby to critical acclaim. 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) and he already has an impressive venue checklist, including Wembley Stadium, where he opened for The Who in July 2019 and has since gone on to play Hyde Park, London, with Pearl Jam, Stereophonics and Johnny Marr in the summer of 2022. Connor has also had a productive 2023 touring the UK as the opening act for Blues and Rock Luminaries Robert Cray and Beth Hart. Connor is also due to embark on a headline tour in October of 2023.

There's a timeless melancholic quality to his music. Relatable in its honesty and openness, he draws from anxiety and vulnerability but delivers it with a world-worn elegance. The sky is the limit for Selby, who, along with awards, has picked up numerous plays on BBC Radio 2. It's easy to see why with his soulful blend of blues and his emotionally introspective songwriting, which sits alongside his impressive armoury of guitar playing.
