Selwyn Birchwood<\/p><\/div>\n

Fans of blues music have a lot to get excited about over the next few days including visits by two artists from the prestigious blues label \u2013 Alligator Records.<\/p>\n

Selwyn Birchwood will headline a show in Sellersville on July 13 and Lil’ Ed & The Blues Imperials will have a three-day run in Philadelphia from July 14-16.<\/p>\n

Birchwood will celebrate the June 9 release of his highly anticipated fourth Alligator Records album,\u00a0\u201cExorcist,\u201d with a performance at\u00a0the Sellersville Theater (24 West Temple Avenue, Sellersville, 215-257-5808,\u00a0www.st94.com<\/a>) on July 13.<\/p>\n

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 \u201cElectric Swamp Funkin\u2019 Blues,\u201d 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.<\/p>\n

With his fiery guitar and lap steel playing, his trailblazing, instantly memorable songs and gritty, unvarnished vocals, Birchwood is among the most extraordinary young stars in the blues. His deep familiarity with blues tradition allows him to bust the genre wide open, adding new sounds, colors and textures, all delivered with a revival tent preacher\u2019s fervor and a natural storyteller\u2019s charisma.<\/p>\n

On\u00a0\u201cExorcist,\u201d Birchwood delivers the most far-reaching, musically adventurous album of his career. Recorded in Florida and produced by Grammy Award-winner Tom Hambridge (Buddy Guy, Christone \u201cKingfish\u201d Ingram, Susan Tedeschi) each of the 13 vividly detailed songs was written and arranged by Birchwood. The soul-baring tracks all hit with lasting rhymes and unexpected rhythms.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe finished recording \u2018Exorcist\u2019 in December 2022 and finished mixing it in January 2023,\u201d said Birchwood, during a phone interview while travelling to Chicago for the fifth gig of the tour.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe cut it in Florida. We recorded it at Fat Planet \u2013 the same studio I used for my last three albums. We did about a week of tracking and a few days of overdubbing and background voices. Then I flew up to Nashville to do the final mixing with Tom Hambridge.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new album definitely shows growth. Musically, it\u2019s the most expansive album I\u2019ve made.\u201d<\/p>\n

The award-winning Florida bluesman first hit the blues scene in 2011 with the self-released, self-produced, \u201cFL Boy.\u201d After winning the 2013 International Blues Challenge in Memphis (beating 150 other bands), Birchwood found doors swinging open. He took a giant step forward in 2014 with his Alligator Records debut album,\u00a0\u201cDon\u2019t Call No Ambulance<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

The album won both the\u00a0Living Blues\u00a0Award and the Blues Music Award (BMA) for Best New Artist Debut. He followed in 2016 with fan-favorite\u00a0\u201cPick Your Poison\u201d\u00a0and, in 2021, with the groundbreaking \u201cLiving In A Burning House.\u201d\u201d He won the coveted BMA Song Of The Year Award for that album\u2019s\u00a0\u201cI\u2019d Climb Mountains.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, Birchwood is in full-scale touring mode \u2013 bringing his impassioned music to his fans.<\/p>\n

According to Birchwood, \u201cMy goal is to be sure you cannot listen passively. We\u2019re going to make you dance, and we\u2019re going to make you think.\u201d<\/p>\n

Birchwood\u2019s previous album, \u201cLiving in A Burning House,\u201d was released in 2021 on Alligator Records.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe album won two Blues Music Awards,\u201d said Birchwood. \u201cIt got the award for \u2018Contemporary Blues Album\u2019 and for \u2018Song of the Year\u2019 and my band member Reggi Oliver got one for \u2018Best Horn Player.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cWe finished making the album in December 2019. It was set to be released in May 2020. Obviously, 2020 had different plans. It finally came out in January 2021. I was ecstatic with the reception it got.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe released the new album in 2021. Even with so much uncertainty, we decided to put it out. We did two shows in January 2021 when the album came out \u2013 shows with social distancing. We didn\u2019t do any concerts outside the state until mid-2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t get to tour the album too heavily. But I always try to stay busy. COVID was a trying time. Music was a release for me. It\u2019s a different landscape since 2020. But people seem ready to come listening.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t write any songs about the pandemic. For people, it\u2019s an escape from reality so I don\u2019t think anyone wants to hear songs about COVID.\u201d<\/p>\n

Birchwood has found much better paths for expression.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith my music, I\u2019m really trying to straddle the line between contemporary and traditional,\u201d said Birchwood. \u201cI\u2019m just trying to find my own stuff. I think people would be hard-pressed to name another band like us. When I\u2019m asked to describe my music, I use four words \u2013 electric swamp funk blues.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since the 2014 release of his Alligator Records debut,\u00a0\u201cDon\u2019t Call No Ambulance,\u201d Birchwood has made a meteoric rise from playing small Florida clubs to headlining international festival stages.<\/p>\n

That album received the Blues Music Award and\u00a0Living Blues\u00a0Critics\u2019 Award for \u201cBest Debut Album of 2014,\u201d and Birchwood won the 2015\u00a0\u201cBlues Blast\u00a0Rising Star Award.\u201d<\/p>\n

Birchwood\u2019s follow-up was \u201cPick Your Poison\u201d in 2016.<\/p>\n

Birchwood wrote and produced all 13 songs on his latest album \u201cPick Your Poison,\u201d which was released in 2017 on Alligator Records. The album is a testament to Birchwood\u2019s overflowing talents as a blues master \u2013 despite his young age of 36.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe \u2018Pick Your Poison\u2019 album was nominated for two Blues Music Awards,\u201d said Birchwood. \u201cWe started making \u2018Pick Your Poison\u2019 in May of 2016.\u201d<\/p>\n

Birchwood is one of the top acts to emerge in the world of blues music in recent years. In 2013, he won the world-renowned International Blues Challenge \u2014 beating out 125 other musicians from the U.S. and abroad.<\/p>\n

He also took home the Albert King Guitarist of the Year Award. After that, it didn\u2019t take long for Alligator Records president Bruce Iglauer to offer Birchwood a contract.<\/p>\n

\u201cBruce heard me play at IBC (International Blues Challenge) in Memphis,\u201d said Birchwood.<\/p>\n

\u201cI gave him some of my tracks to listen to. I was just hoping to get his opinion on them. Instead, he asked me to make an album for his record label.\u201d<\/p>\n

Birchwood was born in 1985 in Orlando, Florida. He first grabbed a guitar at age 13 and soon became proficient at mimicking what he heard on the radio. But the popular grunge rock, hip-hop and metal of the 1990s didn\u2019t move him, and he quickly grew bored.<\/p>\n

Then he heard Jimi Hendrix. By the time he was 17, Birchwood was deep into the blues \u2014 listening to Albert King, Freddie King, Albert Collins, Muddy Waters, Lightnin\u2019 Hopkins and especially Buddy Guy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was young, I decided I wanted to play an instrument and landed on guitar,\u201d said Birchwood. \u201cI was bored with just hearing the stuff on the radio in the late 90s.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I heard Jimi Hendrix for the first time, I was blown away. It was like a spaceship had landed. Then, I started listening to Hendrix\u2019 roots \u2014 Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Buddy Guy.<\/p>\n

\u201cBuddy Guy was one of my favorites. He was coming on tour to the House of Blues in Orlando when I was 17 and living there. I went to his show and was completely floored. I said — what I\u2019m feeling coming off this stage is what I want to do.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just trying to write the best songs I can and have the strongest live performances. I want to just make sure we\u2019re doing everything right.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lil\u2019 Ed & The Blues Imperials<\/p><\/div>\n

Electrifying Chicago blues masters\u00a0Lil\u2019 Ed & The Blues Imperials\u00a0— recently named by the\u00a0Chicago Reader\u00a0as the city\u2019s 2022 Blues Band Of the Year \u2013 will give six live performances at South Jazz Club (600 North Broad Street, Philadelphia, www.southjazzkitchen.com<\/a>) from July 14-16.<\/p>\n

Lil\u2019 Ed & The Blues\u00a0Imperials, beloved around the world as reigning champs of the raucous, slide-stoked Chicago sound, have spent more than 30 years cranking out high-octane blues on a series of critically acclaimed albums and in thousands of club, theatre and festival performances around the globe.<\/p>\n

With sales of more than 120,000 units under its belt, this legendary band is captured at the top of its game on its latest album \u2013 \u201cThe Big Sound of Lil\u2019 Ed & The Blues\u00a0Imperials.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lil\u2019 Ed is Ed Williams, Chicago-born blues guitarist, singer and songwriter who has risen to fame on the strength of his standout slide guitar work.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wasn\u2019t working as much as I usually do because of the pandemic,\u201d said Williams, during a phone interview from his home in Hawthorn Woods, which is located approximately 40 miles northwest of downtown Chicago.<\/p>\n

\u201cI did some acoustic shows and some screenings \u2013 low key shows. I actually played a lot and did a lot of screenings, but it wasn\u2019t the same as a real live concert. In an ordinary year, we\u2019d play around 200 shows a year.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Big Sound of Lil\u2019 Ed & The Blues\u00a0Imperials\u201d\u00a0is bursting with Lil\u2019 Ed\u2019s rollicking slide-work and raw-boned vocals on a joyous blend of burning boogies, romping shuffles and heart-stopping slow blues. The ever-ready Blues\u00a0Imperials\u00a0continue to be his perfect sidekicks \u2014 laying down greasy, percolating grooves with reckless precision.<\/p>\n

Lil\u2019 Ed \u2018s backing band \u2014 The Blues\u00a0Imperials\u00a0\u2014 are bassist James \u201cPookie\u201d Young, guitarist Mike Garrett and drummer Kelly Littleton.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always used a four-piece band \u2014 two guitars, bass and drums,\u201d said Williams, during a recent phone interview. \u201cKelly, Mike and Pookie are my guys. This is a really tight band. These guys have been with me for about 30 years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Williams and his half-brother Pookie Young, received childhood encouragement and tutelage from their uncle, blues guitarist, songwriter and recording artist J. B. Hutto.<\/p>\n

\u201cJ.B. would come and play for my family,\u201d said Williams. \u201cSlide guitar was the instrument for me because it shimmied. J.B. would play his slide and the 40-watt light bulbs in our house would dim.<\/p>\n

\u201cI started playing guitar when I was 11 or 12. J.B. would always play songs by Muddy Waters, Jimmy Reed and Elmore James. The Muddy Waters songs always had a lot of slide guitar. That\u2019s what I really liked a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been 30 years since Lil\u2019 Ed & The Blues\u00a0Imperials\u00a0released their debut album \u201cRoughhousin\u2019\u201d on\u00a0Alligator\u00a0Records.\u00a0All of Li\u2019l Ed\u2019s records over the last three decades have been on Alligator Records, a Chicago-based label specializing in blues music.<\/p>\n

\u201cBack around 1985, I was playing a North Side club here in Chicago and Bruce (Iglauer — producer and owner of Alligator Records) heard me play,\u201d said Williams. \u201cHe invited me to play a couple tracks on a compilation album called \u2018The New Bluebloods.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cI went to their studio and did 15 songs. Then, we kept going. We cut 32 songs in a couple hours. That was where all the songs from \u2018Roughhousin\u2019 came from.<\/p>\n

\u201cI signed with Alligator Records then. Bruce and I shook hands and we\u2019re still together 30 years later.\u201d<\/p>\n

Williams has started working on his next album for Alligator, but no release date has been set.<\/p>\n

\u201cI kind of write as I go because I write about things that I see or little things people say,\u201d said Williams. \u201cA good example is my song \u2018Icicles in My Meatloaf.\u2019 My wife had made meatloaf \u2014 some of it was for dinner and she froze the rest for later.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen she defrosted it and served it, it wasn\u2019t heated up all the way. My mother-in-law started to eat it, came across a part that was still frozen and said \u2014 there\u2019s an icicle in my meatloaf.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou get that kind of vibe going. I look around me. I try to focus on what\u2019s going on around me in the world \u2014 all the things that happen in everyday living in all our lives. That\u2019s why people relate to my songs.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a little studio in my house. I\u2019m always sitting down plucking on my guitar. I get a groove going and then decide if it\u2019s a heavy song or as happy song.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2013, the band was awarded the Living Blues Critics\u2019 and Readers\u2019 Awards for Best Live Performer. The band won this same distinction in the 2012 and 2011 Living Blues Critics\u2019 Poll. The group won the coveted 2009 Blues Music Award for Band Of The Year, the same honor they received in 2007.<\/p>\n

In his live shows, Williams presents fans with an overview of his career \u2014 and a heavy dose of the blues.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve got so many songs that I can play,\u201d said Williams. \u201cEvery show, I try to mix up the material \u2014 old songs from 25 years ago along with newer songs. I also throw in some covers \u2014 Muddy Waters, B.B. King, Elmore James \u2014 all the good ones.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m always working on songs \u2013 trying to find new material.<\/p>\n

Williams comes to the blues naturally. He was born in Chicago on April 8, 1955 in the heart of Chicago\u2019s tough West Side and grew up surrounded by music. His uncle J.B. Hutto, taught him how\u00a0to feel, not just play the blues.<\/p>\n

Harris and Young spent their teen years making music together, and in 1975 formed the first incarnation of The Blues\u00a0Imperials.<\/p>\n

They played their first gig at a West Side club called Big Duke\u2019s Blue Flame, splitting the $6 take four ways. Over the next few years, the group played every club in the neighborhood but still needed day jobs to pay the bills. Harris worked ten hours a day as a buffer at the Red Carpet Car Wash while Young drove a school bus.<\/p>\n

Through relentless touring, the group became tighter with each performance. The band\u2019s spontaneous live show became legendary among blues fans worldwide.<\/p>\n

Lil\u2019 Ed & The Blues\u00a0Imperials\u00a0have played the Chicago Blues Festival, The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Portland\u2019s Waterfront Blues Festival, The Tampa Bay Blues Festival, The San Diego Blues Festival, The Pennsylvania Blues Festival and dozens of other festivals around the country.<\/p>\n

They also have performed at festivals in Canada, Great Britain, France, Spain, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, Japan, Australia, India, Turkey and Panama.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a fun bluesman,\u201d said Harris. \u201cA lot of blues songs are sad. Me \u2013 I\u2019m a happy blues player.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tickets are $30.<\/p>\n

Arts Fishing Club has played Philly many times over the last eight years. However, when the Nashville-based group headlines a show at MilkBoy Philly (1100 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, 215- 925-6455, www.milkboyphilly.com<\/a>) on July 13, it will be the band\u2019s first time to play here in support of an album.<\/p>\n

The debut album by Arts Fishing Club, \u201cRothko Sky,\u201d was released on June 16. It was an independent release.<\/p>\n

Arts Fishing Club is a solo project by singer\/guitarist Christopher Kessenich and also is a band fronted by Kessenich \u2013 an indie rock band from Nashville that formed in 2016.<\/p>\n

\u201cI started toying with it in 2015,\u201d said Kessenich, during a phone interview Wednesday afternoon from a tour stop in Vienna, Virginia.<\/p>\n

\u201cI put out a self-titled EP in 2015. I really like some of those songs. It would be fun to revisit some of those songs.\u201d<\/p>\n

2015 was another eventful year for Kessenich. He and three of his musician buddies \u2013 Benjamin, Willie and Riley \u2013 became \u201cThe Walking Guys.\u201d<\/p>\n

They walked and they played music \u2013 all over the place.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe walked 1,600 miles and played over 50 shows,\u201d said Kessenich, who lives in Nashville. \u201cWe started in Portland, Maine, walked all the way to Atlanta and then walked back to Nashville.<\/p>\n

\u201cEver since getting off that, I\u2019ve been putting bands together. My single, \u2018Shaking for Your Love,\u2019 came out in 2017 and was recorded with some of the guys in the current band.<\/p>\n

\u201cThroughout the years, members have come in and out. There are around 20 that are part of the club. The cast has shifted from the early years. The lineup for the last two years \u2013 Matthew Chamsey on bass, Chris Dunkley on lead guitar and Jody Lee Oliver on drums \u2013 is the best going forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince Matthew joined about three years ago, the project has taken on a whole new life. He\u2019s an incredible instrumentalist.\u201d<\/p>\n

The depth of the musical bond between Kessenich and Chamsey is obvious on the new LP.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe recorded \u2018Rothko Sky\u2019 with producer Thad Kopec at his home studio in Nashville,\u201d said Kessenich. \u201cWe started a year ago and then worked on and off all last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the most part. The songs were written long before they were recorded. I had a lot of songs written \u2013 maybe 60 songs \u2013 over the last two years. I wasn\u2019t that interested in recording them. But when people heard them, they were telling me that I should be recording them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRothko Sky\u201d charts the autobiographical yet hugely relatable arc of an impassioned, volatile romance.<\/p>\n

According to Kessenich, \u201cIt starts with a surge of starry-eyed passion, then hits a wall and gets ripped back to reality. Then the second half of the record fluctuates back and forth between love, sex, pain, and self-reflection.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe name \u2018Arts Fishing Club\u2019 is a reminder to approach music the way\u00a0my grandfathers (Art Kessenich and Art Schmidt) taught me\u00a0to fish. You go out every single day casting, coming up empty handed, casting, coming up empty handed. But it\u2019s not about catching the big fish \u2013 it\u2019s about going on a crazy adventure with people that you love.\u201d<\/p>\n

The show at MilkBoy Philly on July 13 will start at 8 p.m. with opening act Molly Martin.<\/p>\n

Tickets are $18.<\/p>\n

Right now, we\u2019re in the middle of the three-week run of \u201cMoulin Rouge! The Musical,\u201d which is being presented by Kimmel Cultural Campus (250 South Broad Street, Philadelphia,\u202fwww.kimmelculturalcampus.org<\/a>) and The Shubert Organization.<\/p>\n

The show, which is making its Philadelphia debut, is running now through\u00a0July 5-23.<\/p>\n

The lively musical takes place in a world of splendor and romance, of eye-popping excess, of glitz, grandeur, and glory. It is a world where Bohemians and aristocrats rub elbows and revel in electrifying enchantment.<\/p>\n

Part of the 2022-23 Broadway series,\u00a0this larger-than-life musical tells the story of star-crossed lovers who fall in love at the\u00a0Moulin\u00a0Rouge, a place where Bohemians and aristocrats rub elbows while relishing the electrifying entertainment.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Moulin\u00a0Rouge of Paris is a dazzling and spectacular universe, the symbol of the Parisian way of celebrating since 1889. Starting life as a popular cabaret and dance hall, the venue became an iconic music hall in the Roaring Twenties and then a theatre where numerous famous French and international artists stepped out into the limelight.<\/p>\n

Audience members can dive into the world of celebrating truth, beauty, freedom, and most importantly, love, as this musical-remix extravaganza comes to life in front of their eyes.\u00a0\u201cMoulin\u00a0Rouge! The Musical\u201d\u00a0is more than just a musical, it\u2019s a state of mind.<\/p>\n

\u201cMoulin\u00a0Rouge! The Musical\u201d is set in the\u00a0Montmartre Quarter\u00a0of Paris, France, during the\u00a0Belle Epoque\u00a0at the turn of the 20th century. The musical relates the story of Christian, a young composer, who falls in love with cabaret actress Satine, who is the star of the\u00a0Moulin Rouge. Similar to the film, the musical’s score weaves together original songs with popular music, including songs that have been written in the 17 years since the film\u2019s premier.<\/p>\n

Christian is hailed as one of the greatest songwriters ever. This is his journey from beginning to end and there is a lot of music. The original movie used music of the times. This show uses music of our times.<\/p>\n

Some of the songs featured in this version are \u201cWhat\u2019s Love Got to Do with It,\u201d \u201cWe Belong,\u201d \u201cSympathy for the Devil,\u201d \u201cI Wanna Dance (with Somebody Who Loves Me),\u201d \u201cEvery Breath You Take\u201d and \u201cI Will Always Love You.\u201d<\/p>\n
