Connor Selby | York

Intimate seated show.

Young troubadour Connor Selby signed to Provogue Records in December 2022 – home to icons such as Joe Bonamassa, Beth Hart, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Jonny Lang.

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. 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. There's an intimacy to Selby's lyricism and delivery, with emotion being the instrument deftly played throughout. 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.
