EN: Aynsley needs no introduction to Brasserie regulars. For the uninitiated, he is an incredible guitarist whose brand of Blues-based Rock delivers contemporary song writing fuelled with the kind of heart and soul that’s missing from so much modern music. With in excess of 100,000 albums sold, critical acclaim and years of high profile touring, Aynsley has secured his position as a leading light in the resurgence of British Blues-infused music.
The 2014 British Blues Awards saw Aynsley named Song Writer of the year, while the Best Song Award went to the title track of his album ‘Home’. He was runner-up in the Best Guitarist category, going one better in 2015 to take that award, before slipping back to third in 2016, when he was also runner-up in Best Male Vocalist. Aynsley describes his eleventh album ‘Eyes Wide Open’ as a return to his roots with, at its heart, all the grit of traditional blues.
