Gwyn Ashton is back with a hot new contemporary blues album released through Cadiz Music in London that hit the streets on May 12, 2023. ‘Mojosoul’ celebrates his 50th anniversary of playing guitar and is Ashton’s 10th album release. Ashton has previously recorded with members of Whitesnake, Deep Purple, Robert Plant’s and Rory Gallagher’s bands and many more.
A total gear nerd for this album, Gwyn has traded in his well-worn 1963 Fender Stratocaster to play bottleneck slide on a vintage 1930 National Triolian, open-tuned Gretsch Rancher 12-string, a D28 Martin and a 1962 Harmony H-75.
Locked down in Adelaide, South Australia during the pandemic, Ashton put the time to good use recording a massive one hundred and ten brand new songs and is proud to announce the first album to come out of these sessions.
