Davy Knowles

Davy Knowles will perform at The Cluny on 9 June 2026 at 6:30 pm.

Whether playing acoustic, mandolin, National steel, or electric guitar, Davy Knowles has a distinct style.

Since bursting onto the scene with his band Back Door Slam’s album Roll Away in 2007, Davy’s profile has grown. His sophomore release Coming Up For Air was produced by Peter Frampton, with subsequent tours seeing him support and share the stage with Jeff Beck, The Who, Joe Bonamassa, Kid Rock, Lynyrd Skynyrd, George Thorogood, Brian Setzer, Chickenfoot, and Joe Satriani.

Knowles has explored multiple genres and styles, from the 1970s classic rock influenced album Three Miles From Avalon, to the acoustic delta blues of 1932, and the folk of 2023’s If I Should Wander.

Whether spending an evening onstage with just an acoustic guitar, or wielding his well-worn Telecaster while fronting his blues rock trio, Davy Knowles is a versatile songwriter and musician.
