Whip-smart songwriter, electrifying guitarist and lap steel player, and gruff, commanding vocalist Selwyn Birchwood is one of the blues' brightest young stars. His third album features powerful rhythms, amazingly fresh lyrics and breathtaking musicianship.

Produced by Grammy-winning producer Tom Hambridge (Buddy Guy, Christone "Kingfish" Ingram, Susan Tedeschi), Living In A Burning House is a masterclass in distinctive contemporary roots music, brimming with instantly catchy lyrics, undeniable grooves, and the best, most exhilarating guitar playing.
Thirteen compelling originals include declarations of love with horn, rocking reflections on modern life, and deep and slow ballads, all bound by Selwyn's raw, urgent vocals.

A tireless live performer, Selwyn has played over 150 dates a year since his 2014 debut, setting club, theater and festival stages on fire in the U.S., U.K., Canada, Holland, Belgium, Denmark, France, Switzerland, Spain, Russia and Poland.

This is a skillful celebration of blues, funk and soul. A great solo artist and a well-rehearsed band with horns and everything you expect from the music genre.
