If you’re looking for the quintessential modern bluesman, look no further. Davy Knowles is your man. You might think he took his influences from the Deep South but since his native country is the Isle of Man, he instead takes Celtic influences and layers them over an authentic as hell Mississippi Delta blues sound. Starting out with his former band Back Door Slam, those eclectic influences first made him a hit on American soil. When Back Door Slam broke up in 2009, Knowles released his first solo album Coming Up for Air as the opening salvo in a modern-day blues insurgency that continues to be led by his gritty, masculine vocals and strongly abrasive guitar-based sound.
