Visionary Bluesman Selwyn Birchwood to Perform Live at Middle C Jazz! Award-winning Florida bluesman Selwyn Birchwood will perform live at Middle C Jazz in Charlotte on Wednesday, February 21, 2024. Birchwood’s latest release is his highly anticipated fourth Alligator album, Exorcist. 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 “Electric Swamp Funkin’ Blues,” 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.
