Selwyn Birchwood (born March 9, 1985) is an American blues guitarist, vocalist and songwriter from Tampa, Florida.

Living Blues magazine said, "Selwyn Birchwood is making waves, surprising people and defying expectations.

"[2] The Tampa Tribune said Birchwood plays with "power and precision reminiscent of blues guitar hero Buddy Guy.

"[4] The Washington Post said, "Selwyn Birchwood is an indelibly modern and original next-generation bluesman; his tough vocals, guitar and lap steel touch on classic Chicago blues, Southern soul and boogie.

The neighbor was Clarence Smith, who performs and records under the name Sonny Rhodes, a veteran blues musician originally from Texas who spent many years in California.

"[8] The band began touring outside of Florida and, in early 2014, signed with the Intrepid Artists booking agency of Charlotte, North Carolina.

Birchwood has opened for Robert Cray and Buddy Guy, and has shared the stage with veteran bluesman and fellow Alligator Records artist Joe Louis Walker (who made a guest appearance on Don't Call No Ambulance).

[8] On June 10, 2014, Chicago-based Alligator Records released his debut album for the label, Don't Call No Ambulance.

Previous to the Alligator release, Birchwood had self-released two CDs, FL Boy (2011) and Road Worn (2013).

In 2015, Birchwood won a Blues Music Award in the 'Best New Artist Album' category for Don't Call No Ambulance.
