After more than 500 shows, two Billboard-charting studio albums, two DVDs and two live albums, Chicago-based guitarist Davy Knowles is back and touring in support of his third studio album "The Outsider."
Knowles' professional career started with a bang, arriving in the United States at age 19 with his band Back Door Slam, an acclaimed debut album on the back of a deal with U.S. based Blix Street Records. From that dynamic introduction, Knowles proceeded to make a significant impact across U.S. media - from memorable TV performances, to a three-year run at radio with the singles "Come Home" from the debut album "Roll Away," and "Tear Down the Walls," "Taste of Danger" and "Coming Up For Air" from his Peter Frampton-produced sophomore album.
He headlined historic venues such as The Troubadour, Red Rocks, World Cafe and The Iridium and was invited to tour with Jeff Beck, The Who, Warren Haynes/Gov't Mule, George Thorogood, Peter Frampton, Joe Bonamassa, Kid Rock, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Rhythm Devils and the Satriani/Hagar-inspired supergroup Chickenfoot.
The release of "The Outsider," produced by Grammy-winner Steve Chrisanthou, and the upcoming tour are significant milestones for Knowles, marking a new chapter in his career.
