DAVY KNOWLES by Nelson Onofre

Posted on 1/31/2010 by Nelson Onofre


Greetings Blues fans! I hope everyone kept up with the activities at the International Blues Challenge. All sorts of things went on there. ABN's own Robert 'Nighthawk' Tooms provided excellent coverage of the activities.

This week I am featuring photos of Davy Knowles from his Nov. 30, 2009 show at the Bowery Ballroom in NY. There has been quite a buzz going on about Davy. One reviewer said it was probably a bit of an exaggeration to compare Davy to blues greats like Robert Johnson, BB King and Clapton but he thinks Davy is probably the best blues guitarist/singer outside of Doyle Bramhall Jr. Quite a hefty claim!

Numerous people have raved about Davy's version of Jimi Hendrix's 'Red House.' He's been called a Blues-Rock guitar prodigy. There seem to be no shortage of accolades for this young guitarist. Davy was born and raised on the Isle of Man, which lies in the Irish sea between the United Kingdom and Ireland. That's where he was inspired by Blues artists like Rory Gallagher, Eric Clapton and John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. I have to say I was quite impressed with Davy's chops on the guitar. This young man has obviously done his homework and is a talent to be reckoned with. Go out and catch Davy when he's at a venue near you and get a taste of this young guitarist.
