Connor Selby - Made up My Mind (2018)

3MS Music are delighted to announce that they will release the debut album “Made Up My Mind” from Connor Selby on 7 September 2018. The album will be released on CD and digital formats [Cat Nos 3MS017CD / 3MS017DA]. Having first picked up a guitar at the age of 8, Connor has been honing his craft and his songwriting in order to create something truly special. “Made Up My Mind” is it. With the material on the album fully road-tested – Connor is appearing at both Ramblin’ Man Fair and Dereham Blues Festival amongst others – this album is the first step on a what will be a long and fascinating road.

A modern British guitarist, steeped in the history and styles of what has come before but with his own style and take, Connor’s sound is a thrilling hybrid of soulful Blues with a touch of Rock. On this eight-track debut album, he demonstrates a deft technique, sure, but also true feel and understanding of tone. Connor uses a R9 Gibson Les Paul, there’s also a Strat on the album – and he also plays a VOS Gibson SG.

Connor himself said, “Making this album has been a fantastic experience and I’m extremely proud of what’s been produced. The idea of having my own record seemed like a dream only a few years ago so to finally have it, completed and out in the world is a truly amazing feeling. What’s more, I’m grateful that 3MS gave me the freedom to do what I wanted and didn’t push me in any particular direction which allowed me to make the record I wanted to make.”
