Blues. The song is featured on his current album ‘Calling Your Name’ which is

the awards have recently escalated interest in his music seeing Sewell continuing
to ride the current New Wave of British Blues in America.
Sewell commented “To be accepted by the Blues fraternity at this level in such an
American dominated genre is really fantastic and it has been very encouraging to
see the support the Blues Community in the U.S.
Sewell who has only recently embarked on a solo career after many years of
playing sessions and touring with other artists said:
“Just to be nominated for such a prestigious event was great but to go on and
win it, really is amazing. I’m just letting it sink in for now and investigating any
opportunities that may arise from it. I’m already working on the next album and
am currently focusing on demoing songs for possible inclusion. I’m amazed at
how far its been possible to go in such a short time as it was only 12 months
almost to the day from my first release to winning the award in Hollywood.”
