Music News - Ash Grunwald returns to New Zealand
28 October 2015 - 0 Comments
Ash Grunwald is one of the most prolific
bluesmen in Australian music history. He’s been at the forefront of the scene
for more than 12 years, with nominations for six ARIA awards and three APRA
awards, winning two of the latter. At the heart of his remarkable career to
date, are nine studio albums, including his just-released NOW (produced by Nick Didia).
Grunwald,
is without question, an artist whose talents and achievements have gone from
strength to strength, innovation to innovation, from country to country.
After returning from a massive tour of Canada including shows at the Winnipeg and Vancouver Folk Festivals alongside the likes of Wilcoand Jose Gonzalez;
Grunwald is
currently touring Australia in support of NOW and is heading to New Zealand at the
end of November.
NOW is
released in New Zealand this Friday October 30 and features the single Second Guess. Watch
the video for Second
Guess here
Second Guess encompasses the essence of what made Australia, New Zealand and the rest of the
world originally fall in love with Grunwald and his music. With an overflow of groove from the opening riff, paired with
tight percussion and a unique moog synth bass line, Second Guess hits
you off guard with an attack of the aural senses. It’s all Grunwald, it’s
all-new and it is Now!
Produced by Nick Didia (Pearl
Jam/Springsteen/Rage Against the Machine) from studio 301 in Grunwald’s home town
of Byron Bay, Now is set to stand as a sonic landmark in Grunwald’s
career as a respected roots musician.
Grunwald delves
into a more experimental and modern approach on NOW, drawing inspiration from
collaborators Ian Peres (Wolfmother)
on synth, Pete Wilkins (formerly Blue King
Brown) and of course Nick
Didia. Grunwald aimed to approach the album with a traditional power trio reminiscent of
seminal acts such as Hendrix and Cream.
Don’t miss Australia’s finest bluesman live in New Zealand this November where
he will feature songs from new album Now,
alongside tracks from his extensive back catalogue.
Grunwald plays Auckland’s
