Davy Knowles is an Isle of Man-born guitarist, singer, and songwriter known for his blues-rock and Celtic-rock work as a solo artist and formerly with Back Door Slam. After the success of his debut album ‘Roll Away’ with blues-rock band Back Door Slam, which reached number 7 on the Blues Billboard Chart in 2008, Davy Knowles went on to establish himself as a prominent guitarist, singer, and songwriter known for his dynamic blues-rock and Celtic-rock fusion. Knowles formed Back Door Slam around 2003, with the band releasing their debut album, ‘Roll Away,’ on June 26, 2007. The critically acclaimed album propelled them to performances at major festivals including South by Southwest, Coachella, Lollapalooza, and the Bonnaroo Music Festival, where they filmed their first concert DVD, ‘Back Door Slam: Live from Bonnaroo,’ in 2008.

The band disbanded in early 2009, enabling members to pursue individual careers. Following the breakup of Back Door Slam, Knowles launched his solo career, releasing his debut solo album, ‘Coming Up For Air,’ on June 16, 2009. The album quickly achieved significant success, peaking at number 2 on the Billboard Blues Albums Chart twice in July 2009. That same year, Knowles supported rock legend Jeff Beck on an American tour in April, and later toured with Joe Satriani and Chickenfoot.

Knowles continued to build on this momentum, releasing his album ‘If I Should Wander’ in 2023. Most recently, Davy Knowles released his album ‘The Invisible Man’ in 2024, showcasing his continued evolution as an artist. He is also anticipated to release a forthcoming MKO album in 2025, demonstrating his ongoing commitment to developing new projects and collaborations.
