"Go check this man out - great guitarist and songwriter - performing his original blues and rock songs - you will be entertained and taken on a musical journey that you will totally enjoy. Say Kev sent you" - Kevin Borich
Ashton’s versatile live show is divided into two main sections - an acoustic dinner set creating a sophisticated atmosphere with world rhythms and blues, gentle foot percussion and road stories from a road well traveled. His show is humorous and he interacts professionally with his audience as he takes them on a mesmerising journey into music.
Then, in one-man band mode, he rocks the blues, again taking his audience on a rollercoaster ride of funky, electric slide guitar, boogie and blues, this time with a full foot-operated drum kit. It’s a great night out for all lovers of fine music and entertainment.
Gwyn Ashton is back with a red hot new contemporary swamp blues, rock, folk album through Cadiz Music, London.
Mojosoul celebrates his 50th anniversary of playing guitar and is Ashton’s 10th album release.
Ashton has previously recorded with members of Whitesnake, Deep Purple, Robert Plant's and Rory Gallagher's bands and many more.
A total gear nerd for this album he has traded in his well-worn 1963 Fender Stratocaster to play bottleneck slide on a vintage 1930 National Triolian, open-tuned Gretsch Rancher 12-string, a D28 Martin and a 1962 Harmony H-75.
Locked down in Adelaide, South Australia during the pandemic, Gwyn Ashton put the time to good use recording a massive 110 brand new songs and we are proud to announce the first album to come out of these sessions.
