The Truth Comes Out Eventually. It is something that we should all aspire to live by. Authenticity is a word that’s undervalued in today’s fast-moving landscape, but authenticity and truth are interwoven, and if you have one, then the other naturally sidles up. There are several reasons Connor Selby has chosen this as his album title.

Having moved around a lot as a child, the young British troubadour has lived between the UK, the US, and the UAE before finally settling in his birthplace in Essex. He has always had a burning passion for the authentic rootsy music of the US. This is something that seeps into his very existence.

The fast-rising star has featured alongside a host of superstars on Dire Straits legend Mark Knopfler’s 2024 charity single, “Going Home (Theme From Local Hero),” which also featured the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Slash, Eric Clapton, Nile Rodgers and many more.

He was voted “Young Artist of the Year” at the UK Blues Awards for three consecutive years (2020, 2021, 2022) and was nominated in four categories (Contemporary Blues Artist of the Year, Instrumentalist of the Year, UK Acoustic Blues Act of the Year, and UK Blues Vocalist of the Year) in 2024.

No stranger to touring, he has already clocked up thousands of miles across Europe and played the biggest stages in the UK, from supporting The Who at Wembley Stadium to a Hyde Park Festival alongside the likes of Pearl Jam and Stereophonics as well as opening for powerhouse singer Beth Hart at the iconic London Palladium on her March 2024 UK tour.

When he talks about where his place is in this world and where he belongs, this is where he belongs.
