Davy Knowles has known what he wanted to do with his life since the age of 11. I was in the car with my dad, and he put on a cassette of Dire Straits' 'Sultans of Swing,'" explains the 21-year-old guitarist, singer and songwriter. "I just fell in love with the music then and there. That track changed my life, and I realized, 'I really want to be able to do that.'" Hailing from the Isle of Man, the tiny kingdom in the middle of the Irish Sea, might have posed a challenge to that childhood epiphany for a lesser talent. Instead, Davy just borrowed his father's acoustic guitar and painstakingly learned to play "Sultans of Swing" by ear.
As a teenager, he mined his father's record collection to learn all he could about 'the blues' and he discovered John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Eric Clapton, Peter Green and Rory Gallagher, to name a few. Then I began reading guitar player magazines and started seeing who the people I was influenced by had listened to, which is how I learned about Blind Willie Johnson and Robert Johnson Davy explains. He played in bands throughout his school years - usually as the "kid" among older players - and, ultimately, formed Back Door Slam with his school mates.
The band's debut recording Roll Away, which featured Adam Jones on bass and Ross Doyle on drums, was released by Blix Street Records in June, 2007. Knowles wrote all but one of the tracks on the record, which became a Top 5 staple on Billboard's Blues chart. Ironically, now young(er) guitar players are reading about him in the way he did about his heroes. Nick Anderman of the Village Voice wrote: "Davy Knowles, the lead singer, guitarist and songwriter, is talented like very few bluesmen these days. He shreds like a young Robert Cray and wails like the love of his life was just hit by a truck," while Shane Harrison of the Atlanta Journal Constitution said: "If this were a more just world, the band's startlingly talented guitarist, singer and songwriter Davy Knowles would already be a star." "
Such acclaim continued as the band played clubs, concerts and festivals and shared billings with George Thorogood, Buddy Guy, Kid Rock & Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Who and the legendary jam band Gov't Mule. They also appeared on television's CBS Early Show and Jimmy Kimmel Live as well as on NPR's World Cafe and Voice of America's Border Crossings. After parting company with his bandmates Jones and Doyle early this year, Knowles began to record the follow up to Roll Away. Scheduled for release by Blix Street this summer, the recording is produced by Grammy-winning singer-songwriter-guitarist Peter Frampton, who also features on the album.
Despite the thousands of miles he's already logged on the road - 300+ dates in 18months to support their debut CD in America - Davy's anxious to get back out there to play. "You should play music because you love doing it," he says, "If you can hang in for the long haul, you're doing what most people can't, and you're incredibly lucky." He's begun to call America "home," but there's a hint of wistfulness when he speaks about the Isle of Man, a feeling addressed in the title song of Roll Away: "It's a beautiful place and I feel lucky to have grown up there - but you can't forget that there's also a world out there beyond it." And for Davy Knowles, the next stop is the world.
ABOUT THE BAND
PK:bass PK has been a professional musician since the mid-90's, playing upright and electric bass. He's been a bandleader and composer for many years and a founding member of Rockin Teenage Combo and Dasrut, and recently was composing for his own band "PK & What Army?!".
Along the way he's played with Bill Frisell, Mike Doughty, Roy Hargrove, Wayne Horvitz, Ivan Neville, Michael Shrieve, Skerik, Reggie Watts, Shawn Smith, Robert Walters, Josh Roseman, DJ Logic, Jessica Lurie, Shane Bartell & KJ Sawka as well as being a founding member of Rockin Teenage Combo, Dasrut and PK & What Army?
PK studied upright bass with Ray Brown, Francois Rabbath, David Friesen & Mike Bisio.
Steven Barci:drums Steven started playing drums at the age of 10 after wearing out two of his parents couches and pots & pans by hitting them with wooden dowels. He's played with or shared the stage with: Ed Vedder, Mike Mccready, Stone Gossard, Matt Cameron, Michael Frant & Spearhead, and studied under: Steve Smith (Seattle Drum School) Jason Mcgerr, Alan White, John Wicks, Kenny Aronoff, Greg Bissonette. Steven has been playing full time and producing/engineering recordings in the Seattle scene since 2000 and has toured the u.s. with other projects.
Other bands include: A Bird of Passage, Vast Capital
Ty Bailie:keys Ty grew up on a hay farm in southeast Washington state. When he was 8 years old he pestered and begged his parents into buying an old upright piano from a neighboring wheat farmer and rode home with it in the back of their flatbed truck, playing it, while being covered in dust from the dirt roads.
Life changed dramatically for Ty at 16 years of age when jazz pianist Steve Haberman got burned out of LA, pointed at a map, and moved into a (relatively) nearby town. Steve took Ty under his wing and taught him the skills that would later make him one of the busiest and revered keyboard players in Seattle after relocating there in 2000, giving up John Deere tractors for Hammond B3s. Ty has played with the most respected musicians in town, most notably manning the keys for Mike McCready of Pearl Jam's UFO tribute band Flight to Mars, touring/recording with legendary grunge band Truly with members from Soundgarden and The Screaming Trees, backing up traveling dignitaries such as Robbie Robertson of The Band, jazz legend Julian Priester, local heros from the Presidents of the United States, Austin Texas transplant and guitar royalty Ian Moore, and many many others.

Just saw you (guys) at The Shelter tonight. Purely amazing. My dad has followed you guys since your first CD, and spread word around. My brothers actually got your pick you used, and some auto graphs, and hes going to give them to my dad for Christmas, along with a poster you guys signed with a note.

 Thank you for amazing music, and an amazing night. Davy's fingers moved faster and more precise then anything else i've seen. I can't move my finger that fast even without trying to play my guitar. Keep at it, one day everyone will know your name!

An extreme focus on profit may be good for business but it is one helluva lousy form of Government

Keep up the good work – I love your site – Paul

Great show tonight at Birdy's, Indianapolis.  The band really nailed cortez the killer and the crowd carried the refrain.  We walked in late so we must have missed the back door slammin'.  This was our first headline gig for davy and we were impressed. Messin' with the kid was excellent. Catch this act people they are razor sharp and on fire. Oh, and the new album is damn fine for a sophomore effort.

Peace
