​
UK-based South Australian Music Hall of Famer Gwyn Ashton is back with a red hot new contemporary swamp blues, rock, folk album through Cadiz Music, 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 he 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, Gwyn Ashton put the time to good use recording a massive 110 brand new songs and we are proud to announce the first album to come out of these sessions.
