For the past 25 years Ashton has been playing hundreds of clubs and blues, rock and jazz festivals across Europe. On his own he can play quiet intimate venues or rock out to thousands on the big stage with the massive sound he can generate! As one of Europe and Australia’s hardest working musicians, Gwyn Ashton takes his audience on a mesmerising musical journey from haunting lap slide instrumentals and acoustic ballads to gut bucket National steel guitar bottleneck slide-driven blues and beyond.
His shows are musical, funny, entertaining and highly irreverent, enhanced with stories and songs of tales from a road well travelled, which includes releasing 10 highly-rated albums along the way. Ashton’s exemplary song craft is complemented by his fretboard wizardry and a passion to deliver a high-quality show via an armoury of acoustic and weird old electric guitars.
He uses foot drums and a custom-made pedalboard of effects from fuzz, tape echo and an organ pedal and loops them to create a sonic soundscape to enhance his breathtaking performance. Ashton has been described as ‘the king of feel’ by Robert Plant, ‘a true blues player’ by Johnny Winter and the singer-songwriter is ‘one of the most versatile artists we’ve had’ - Deep Ellum Blues Club - Dallas, TX. He has recorded his solo albums with members of Plant’s and Rory Gallagher’s bands.
During the pandemic Ashton was locked down in Adelaide, where he put in time to writing, recording and releasing new music. He has since returned to Europe to once again smash stages across the northern hemisphere!
Formerly with Virgin Records, Gwyn Ashton was once lead guitarist in Europe with Band of Friends (Rory Gallagher’s band) and in Australia with Stevie Wright (The Easybeats) and Jim Keays (Masters Apprentices). Ashton has shared stages with Ray Charles, Van Morrison, Hubert Sumlin, Johnny Winter, Junior Wells, Rory Gallagher, BB King, Buddy Guy, Mick Taylor, Status Quo, The Yardbirds, Slade, The Troggs and many more, through over 30 countries.
