Short Bio

 

Toting a hot new album and smashing stages worldwide, Aussie axeman Gwyn Ashton has reinvented himself as a one-man progressive alt. blues band and is now on his current solo elektro tour.

 

In two hours Ashton takes us on an eclectic mesmerising musical journey of his own original material plus some choice 

covers; from acoustic roots, blues and world music to a set of electric hard-edged rockin’ blues, 60s-style fuzz garage rock 

and Brit-voiced psychedelia on an array of instruments, including his custom-made Italian Liutart signature model guitar. 

 

With no backing tracks or setlist Ashton spontaneously draws his set mostly from eight released studio albums. His lyrical 

songwriting and musical dexterity on resonator and lap slide guitars mixed with frenetic electric slide, heavy bass lines, hardcore kick drum beats and lo-fi microphone vocals makes him one of the most unique contemporary artists on the scene today. 

​

Gwyn Ashton is available worldwide in either an intimate acoustic roots and blues situation or an electric rockin' blues show.
