SUMMARY:Gwyn Ashton
DESCRIPTION:Ashton is on the top of the list of the new wave of modern blues rock artists\, spearheaded by The Black Keys\, Jack White\, Seasick Steve etc. Live\, his dynamic performances also include haunting and mesmerising bottleneck and lap steel moments. \nLaying down a dirty backbeat on a foot drum kit\, bass lines with his thumb\, he attacks his guitar with a bottleneck slide\, sings and blows blues harp into a lofi radio microphone\, creating the illusion of a full band. From a scream to a whisper in a split second\, his dynamic sensitivity on all these instruments defines his musicality and flexibility. \nWith a new single Get Outta Town feat Guns N’ Roses guitarist Richard Fortus and members of Australian bands Cold Chisel and Superjesus\, the Welsh-Australian recently appeared across Europe with prog rockers Wishbone Ash\, co-headlined the Adelaide Guitar Festival in Australia and blazed his way across the UK\, Germany\, Balkans\, Czechia\, Slovakia and Poland. He’s played dozens of festivals across Europe\, UK\, Mexico\, Brazil\, Australia and Russia and tours with some of the biggest names in rock and blues. \nInspired by the likes of Hendrix\, Ry Cooder and David Lindley\, his “guitarsenal” includes a rack of electric and acoustic instruments including lap slide\, resonator\, 12-string and old pawn shop guitars. He plays venues\, festivals\, guitar shows and conducts masterclasses worldwide.

SUMMARY:Jarrod Shaw
DESCRIPTION:Jarrod Shaw possesses a passion and appreciation for blues music that becomes obvious from the moment the first note sounds. He delivers a soulful blues inspired show\, performed with conviction. \nJarrod was born and raised in country Victoria\, down the dirt roads of the Macedon Ranges. He taught himself to play guitar listening to the renowned blues greats\, as well as the icons of the Australian and local Melbourne blues scene. \nPerforming countless solo gigs has aided Jarrod in developing a musical style of his own. He blends his unique guitar approach lying somewhere between piedmont fingerstyle and the blues of the delta\, with a powerful voice often described as belying his years. At times he even wails away on a racked blues harp – all at once without missing a beat. If you close your eyes you might even believe there’s more than one person performing…

SUMMARY:Ciaran Boyle plays the songs of Josh Ritter
DESCRIPTION:Ciaran is better known for his Irish setlist but has long played the songs of Josh Ritter to his own amusement and would love the chance to share the lyric based songs of Josh Ritter. Josh lived in Ireland for a period of his creative life so brought his Idaho based country music and fused it with the singer songwriter movement of the time. He is softly spoken but strongly written with songs of American disillusionment such as ‘All some kind of Dream’. Come enjoy & “have mercy on the man who sings to be adored”!

In 2004 he won the Lawson Patterson songwriting award at Port Fairy for his composition “Freedom’s Song” a story about his journey to Australia mirrored with that of the refugees. \nCyril plays regularly at Irish Pubs in Melbourne and is highly in demand for weddings.
