Davy Knowles brings his blues-rock guitar work to Daryl’s House in Pawling on April 22. The Isle of Man-born guitarist has been building a reputation as one of the most exciting players in contemporary blues-rock — his tone sits somewhere between Peter Green and Gary Moore, with a modern edge that keeps the tradition alive without embalming it.
Daryl’s House is a dream room for a guitarist of this caliber. The Hudson Valley venue puts the audience close enough to see the fingerwork, and the acoustics deliver every nuance of Knowles’s dynamic range — from the whisper-quiet clean passages to the overdriven peaks that separate a good blues guitarist from a great one.
