Ash Grunwald - Does it all

Notes: It is too simplistic to describe Ash Grunwald as just a blues musician.
While it’s true that his music is steeped in the Delta blues tradition of the legendary acoustic musicians who proliferated in pre-World War II America’s deep South and the giants of electric blues who shaped rock and roll, it’s the young Victorian’s willingness to combine these influences with grooves and sounds common in contemporary music that sets him apart.
A soulful singer and guitar player, Ash immediately drew attention with the release of 2002’s ‘Introducing … Ash Grunwald’ a collection of originals and blues standards that included ‘Smokestack Lightnin’ (Howlin’ Wolf) ‘The Sky Is Crying’ (Elmore James) and ‘Rolling And Tumbling’ (Robert Johnson) recorded live with only acoustic guitar and foot percussion consisting of a stomp box and tambourine.
The album’s most revealing track is ‘Dolphin Song’, a true story of dolphins saving a surfer (Ash) from a shark attack. The tale is exciting, humorous and real and in the context of a blues based album, liberating.
The positive response to Ash’s debut resulted in two Victorian Blues awards for Emerging Talent and Album Of The Year.
The following year he scored two Australian Blues awards for Male Vocalist Of The Year and Best New Talent in addition to the MBAS’ Blues Performer Of The Year. He also reached the final of the International Blues Performer Of The Year in Memphis.
In 2004 Ash released his follow up album ‘I Don’t Believe’, once again recorded solo and live.
Since his initial release he’d been made aware of 2 Tom Waits albums, ‘Swordfishtrombones’ (’85) and ‘Bone Machine’ (’92). In a daring move he emulated Waits’ experimental bang and clang percussion using hammers, spanners, pots etc, in addition to a boss loop station as a bed for his lap steel, dobro and acoustic guitars.
The album included 6 originals, 2 Waits’ compositions, ‘Going Out West’ and ‘Jesus Gonna Be Here’ (a-cappella with handclaps) and blues standards ‘Walking Blues’ and ‘Cross Roads’ (Robert Johnson), ‘Empire State’ (Son House) and ‘How Many More Years’ (Howlin’ Wolf).
On the strength of this release Ash won an ARIA award nomination for Best Blues And Roots Album, and the Victorian Blues award for Male Vocalist Of The Year (equal with Lloyd Spiegel) and in 2005 the MBAS Vic / Tas award for Solo / Duo Of The Year (equal with Dave Hogan).
For the ‘Live At The Corner’ album (songs from his first two releases plus Willie Dixon’s ‘Spoonful’ featuring Ian Collard on harmonica) Ash won the 2005 MBAS Vic / Tas and Australian Blues award’s Album Of The Year in addition to being nominated once again for the Best Blues And Roots album at the ARIA’s.
Ash has built a substantial following performing at countless live venues around the country and at major festivals including Byron Bay, Port Fairy, Falls, Apollo Bay, Fremantle, Cockatoo Island and Margaret River.
In May 2005, Ash was invited to take over the reins as host of Triple J’s popular Thursday night show Roots ‘N All.
Ash Grunwald continues to forge his own identity with the release of twelve original songs on album number four, ‘Give Signs’ recorded on his own label Delta Groove Records. As usual it will be live and solo. And as usual, it is another terrific offering from this talented performer.
