Ash GrunwaldA journeyman, storyteller, and songwriter at heart, Australia’s foremost bluesman Ash Grunwald has announced a new National Tour to coincide with the release of his new LP – Bluesfest Studio Sessions - which drops on Friday 17 November 2023.
Ash Grunwald has inspired a generation to hit the road in an old beat-up Bedford to ‘surf by day jam by night’. Live on stage, Ash rocks the house yet touches the soul, serving a tsunami of dance, beats, roots, bass ‘n’ blues…
Throughout his career, he has supported legends James Brown, The Black Keys, Jack Johnson, Xavier Rudd, and Keith Urban, among numerous others, and played sold out festivals across Europe, Japan, and North America.
With six Australian Top-50 albums to his credit, alongside five ARIA and four AIR Award Nominations, two APRA Awards, and gong for Best International Act at the LA Music Critic Awards in 2014, Grunwald is cast in bronze among Australia’s most successful blues musicians.
