Local legends Ash Grunwald and Josh Teskey take you to the heart and soul of the blues

Both Ash Grunwald and Josh Teskey are formidable songwriters, but together they are truly magic. The duo’s top 10 ARIA-charting album Push the Blues Away brought to light their superb ability to remove the bells and whistles, while retaining all the wonder. Encompassing original tunes and classic blues songs, delivered with the pair’s wildly distinctive vocals, and with percussion consisting only of gospel-inspired hand claps and stomps, the work feels honest and human. Josh Teskey and Ash Grunwald’s humble yet self-affirming artistry will translate to a show that is small on fanfare and huge on poetic power.
