Davy Knowles/Austin Stambaugh (in the Supper Club)

With a new album. Three Miles From Avalon due out on this very day, Davy Knowles is sure to hit Cleveland with a spring in his step. We’ve been spinning the record at Scene’s worldwide headquarters, and can attest that it’s a groovy collection of upbeat blues rock tunes. The guy’s got chops; over the years, he’s cut his teeth touring with Jeff Beck and, at other times, the Rhythm Devils, tapping into some serious rock ‘n’ roll DNA. While he weaves a nice Celtic influence into his material (he went to high school and formed his first band on the Isle of Man), Knowles hews close to American rock songwriting structures. (Sandy)
