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.

Short Bio

 Gwyn Ashton has been hauling his beaten up 1930s National steel guitar around the world for more than 20 years. Influences of his acoustic-based singer/songwriter 'Roots, Blues & Beyond' show are drawn from Mississippi Delta blues music, ballads, and eastern music. Ashton is equally at home playing a Hawaiian Weissenborn hollow neck lap slide, resonator and 12-string guitars as he is playing a loud rock & roll set.
