Two of Australia’s finest — Ash Grunwald, the premier bluesman, and Daniel Champagne, the young virtuoso — join forces for one night only. Don’t miss this explosive evening of world-class live music.
Ash Grunwald has spent decades redefining contemporary blues in Australia — fusing gritty slide- guitar, soulful vocals and groove-laced rhythms. His shows are known for their raw energy and emotional depth, making each performance both powerful and intimate.
“A blues modernist, pushing the genre’s boundaries’ – Rolling Stone Magazine

His solo performances deliver astonishing guitar virtuosity and heartfelt songwriting, capturing audiences with a presence that feels much larger than one man and a guitar.
“The finest guitar player of this generation” – Acoustic Guitar Magazine, USA
“The word prodigy seems to entirely fall short of this soft-spoken young man’s skills, he coaxes sounds and melodies out of his instrument that literally drop jaws” – The Calgary Herald, CANADA
