Ash Grunwald – Tell It Like It Is Tour | Mackay

A journeyman, storyteller, and troubadour at heart, Australia’s foremost bluesman Ash Grunwald has announced a new National Tour to promote his forthcoming record – studio sessions featuring all your favourites – curated from a career spanning twenty-years.

Ash Grunwald has inspired a generation to hit the road in an old beat-up Bedford to ‘surf by day jam by night’. Enshrined by Australian folklore, his live shows are known to rock the house yet touch the soul, serving a tsunami of dance, beats, roots, bass ‘n’ blues.

This year, Grunwald consecrates his 10th appearance at Bluesfest with a new record in its honour. Recorded by Nick DiDia (Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam, Rage Against The machine), featuring Ian Peres (Wolfmother, Xavier Rudd, Bernhard Fanning) and the tropical ambassador of rhythm ‘n’ grove, Bobby Alu, the new LP is bound to cascade and coalesce throughout the course of 2023.

Having emerged from the studio, working with acclaimed LA-based producer Justin Stanley (Prince, Paul McCartney, Beck, Eric Clapton, Gary Clarke Jnr. et al.) on a reimagination of ‘Tell It Like It Is’, Ash has a plethora of projects in the pipeline, beginning with a new National Tour – Tell It Like It Is 2023.
