They rocked the blues right out of the music tent they performed in. The band met with me after their organic yet stimulating set to talk about everything from the t.v. show they hate to admit they watch to their current album Coming Up For Air. The band's name, Back Door Slam originated with a Robert Cray song. Davy told me his dad took him to Cray's concert when he was in 8th grade. The experience was life changing for him and the song that impacted him the most was entitled "Back Door Slam". Back Door Slam has been through a lot of transition over the course of 2009, loosing originating band members Adam Jones on bass and drummer Ross Doyle in January. Davy decided to reinvent and continue to pursue his solo career. He picked up Seattle natives Steven Barci on drums and P.K. on the bass. Davy says that the addition of the new band members pushes him as an artist to grow and that he hasn't been happier than he is right now. So what is the inspiration behind the new album? Davy says it started with the song, "Coming Up For Air" saying the lyric in a particular song in conjunction with the book he was reading at the time entitled Coming Up For Air by George Orwell struck him and moved him. The premise of the lyric is to be stuck in a situation in life, hitting rock bottom and being able to pull up out of it. It's a beautiful concept that relates to the core of our human experience. Other things that can inspire Davy's creativity and writing process include a riff on the guitar that suddenly comes off naturally or a moment in life saying, "Quite a lot of things can inspire music actually." On a personal note, a couple of Davy's favorite artists at the moment are John Hiatt and Ben Harper, (also a featured artist at the Mile High Music Festival). When asked what the band couldn't do without on the road they all agreed it would be Sushi adding to that, with a touch of humor, their driver, Mack. And Mack quite literally seems to hold the keys to one of Davy's favorite accomplishments in his career to date, the tour bus! He said that life on the road is much easier now that they have one. And if you're still wondering what that t.v. show might be that Davy Knowles & Back Door Slam can't get enough of but hate to admit to, it's Gene Simmons Family Jewels. They confessed that one time they watched six episodes in a row during a marathon airing of the show. If you're local to the Denver Metro area and missed this talented Rock and Blues band today you can still catch them on July 22nd at Red Rocks. Davy and company put on a show that is remarkable and unforgettable, leading me to believe this band is one to keep on your radar!” - Examiner.com For up-to-the-minute AAA news...
