Alligator Records artists The Nick Moss Trio and Selwyn Birchwood will perform live at FitzGerald’s SOLD OUT American Music Festival in Berwyn on Sunday, July 2, and Monday, July 3, 2023, respectively.
Moss’ latest Alligator Records release is Lucky Guy!, by The Nick Moss Band featuring Dennis Gruenling. UK tastemaker magazine MOJO says, “Moss shows the world his fearsome guitar chops and his complete familiarity with the great tradition of Chicago blues music.” In the last few years, The Nick Moss Band received five Blues Music Awards, including Band Of The Year, Song Of The Year, Traditional Blues Album Of The Year, Traditional Blues Male Artist (Moss) and Instrumentalist—Harmonica (Dennis Gruenling). The Nick Moss Band Featuring Dennis Gruenling will unleash their eagerly awaited third Alligator Records release, Get Your Back Into It!, on Friday, July 14.
Award-winning Florida bluesman Selwyn Birchwood is currently celebrating the June 9th release of his highly anticipated fourth Alligator Records album, Exorcist. The young guitarist, lap steel player, songwriter and vocalist sets a course for the future of the blues with his visionary, original music. He calls it “Electric Swamp Funkin’ Blues,” an intoxicating mix of deep blues, blistering, psychedelic-tinged rock, booty-shaking funk and sweet Southern soul, played and sung with fire-and-brimstone fervor. Tastemaker Americana music magazine No Depression says, “Selwyn Birchwood reaches back in the blues tradition to launch something out of this world.”
Exorcist will be available on purple vinyl LP, CD and at all popular streaming and download sites. The first single, the ripped-from-the-headlines howler FLorida Man, hit radio and streamers on Tuesday, May 9.
