Davy Knowles

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

Since bursting onto the scene with his band Back Door Slam's album 'Roll Away' in 2007, he followed with the sophomore release 'Coming Up for Air', produced by Peter Frampton, and subsequent tours saw him supporting and sharing the stage with acts such as Jeff Beck, The Who, Joe Bonamassa, Kid Rock, Lynyrd Skynyrd, George Thorogood, Brian Setzer, the Sammy Hagar-fronted band Chickenfoot, and Joe Satriani.

Knowles has several top 5 Billboard Blues albums and has appeared on TV programs including Jimmy Kimmel Live and Good Morning America. He performed live to the International Space Station from mission control in Houston, TX, and his music was taken to the Space Station by astronauts Nicole Stott and Ron Garan.

Knowles has explored multiple genres and styles, from the 70s 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 - and at any point between the two - Davy Knowles is a versatile songwriter and musician.
