Biography

Davy Knowles, born April 30, 1987, in Port St. Mary, Isle of Man, is a blues guitarist and singer who started playing guitar at age 11 after hearing "Sultans of Swing" by Dire Straits.

After touring extensively and gaining exposure at festivals like South by Southwest and Lollapalooza, Back Door Slam announced their disbandment in early 2009.
