about
Connor Selby is a rising British star in the traditions of Eric Clapton and Peter Green, who has already performed with his band at Wembley Stadium, at the age of 21, at the behest of The Who.
Recently voted the “Young Artist of the Year” in the 2020 UK Blues Awards, the young bandleader-guitarist-vocalist draws on influences as diverse as Albert and BB King, Ray Charles, Free and Nick Drake, creating a soulful blend of hard-hitting blues and emotional, introspective song writing, which, at times, evokes a modern take on the best of the British blues boom of the 1960’s.
Connor was also recently invited to guest with 'Redtenbacher's Funkestra', as part of their 'Masterlink Sessions' video series, performing Connor's song 'That's Alright' from his debut album. Funkestra are a house band of world class musicians with CV's to prove it (think Elton John, David Bowie, Annie Lennox, Jack Bruce etc) and both parties enjoyed the experience so much that they chose to go on and complete a whole album together which will be released later this year.
This release should further cement Connor's reputation as one of our brightest young talents; a talent who has already garnered invitations to tour not only with legendary Bluesman John Mayall but also a worldwide stadium tour with the aforementioned Who.
lyrics
THAT'S ALRIGHT (lyrics)
I was just sitting here thinking, about all the things I could done
All the time I’ve wasted, all the songs I could’ve sung
All the hours I’ve been waiting, sittin’ idly by
I’ve lost myself got nothing left to lose but it’s you I hope to find
That’s Alright x4
I can’t do these things no more
This road I’m walking I’ve been down here before
I can’t trust my own eye’s, I can’t separate the truths from the lies
I’ve asked myself the questions, I’ve set aside the time
I’ve given everything I have to give, but I’m bound to lose my mind.
That’s Alright x4
You know it’s my life and I’ve got to make a change
I’m tired of the way things are, things just can’t stay the same
That’s Alright x4
