The famous American guitar player Selwyn Birchwood's blues band will be performing its new songs at the Koktebel Jazz Party festival, the band members said during a news conference.

"Tonight you'll hear songs from Selwyn's brand new, yet unreleased album," the bass player Donald Wright said. "We haven't really played them anywhere yet."

He was the winner of the Blues Foundation's 2013 International Blues Challenge, as well the winner of the Albert King Guitarist of the Year award. He founded his blues band back in 2011. Today, apart from frontman Selwyn, the band lineup also includes drummer Phillip Walker, sax player Regi Oliver and bass player Donald Wright.
