Melbournes Ash Grunwald is an inimitable modern blues talent. His rhythmic acoustic blues guitar, soulful vocals and unique song writing has made Ash one of Australias hottest new blues players. Winning the Best Emerging Talent Award and Male Vocalist of the Year at the Australian Blues Awards (The Chain Awards) 2003, Ash Grunwald is making his mark on the Australian blues scene. Recently he has played festivals such as Blues at Bridgetown WA 2002 and The Melbourne International Music and Blues Festival 2003. A highlight of 2003, Ash ventured to Canada to play at The Salmon Arm Blues and Roots Festival with international acts such as Jeff Healy, Sue Foley and Big Jack Johnson. He blew the audiences away with his impromptu performance as support for headline act, Angelique Kidjo. His initiative made him the hit of the festival. =0D=0A=

Bill Johnson has been playing blues for 40 years.  A master guitarist and vocalist, Bill has developed his own brand of laid-back, soul-thumping blues while living on Vancouver Island.  Whether on his own, or performing with his band, his unique style and beautiful tone reveal a rare passion for the blues. A Juno nomination in 2012, and four Maple Blues award nominations have earned him a place among the countries best blues artists. From a slow burn to a blast of blues energy, his show is not to be missed. With every new town and performance comes many new amazed fans, as he works his way coast to coast. - See more at: http://billjohnsonblues.com/biography/#sthash.jmt66GaN.dpuf=0D=0A=
