Born to an African mother and Australian father, Grunwald grew up listening to classic bluesmen like Muddy Waters, Robert Johnson and then later BB King, James Brown and Jimi Hendrix. This melting pot of blues and soul provided inspiration for what would become his signature eclectic style.
Mucking around busking in his teens, Grunwald formed group The Blue Grunwalds and released the album Groove Cafe. Once he'd found his feet a little more firmly in the music scene he started the trio Groove Catalysts in 2001. While both these groups brought success Grunwald was drawn to the solo acoustic side of things.
In 2002 Grunwald released his first solo album Introducing Ash Grunwald and took out that year's Melbourne Blues Performer of the Year. This prompted the follow up record I Don't Believe (2004).
Despite some commercial success both here and abroad, including reaching the finals in Memphis' International Blues Competition, feedback received about his two albums intoned that they hadn't really captured the raw energy of his live shows. In response, Grunwald released Live at the Corner (2005) and met with wide acclaim, taking out Album of the Year at the Australian Blues Awards.
Grunwald continues to tour widely, showcasing his unique one man band style of blues

All Seasons Margaret River – Your Local Wedding Expo Sunday 31st August 2008 from 10.30am – 3.00pm

Venue: All Seasons Margaret River, Walcliffe Road, Margaret River

• Fashion parades at 11.45am & 1.45pm • Free show bag for brides including magazines valued at $30 • Great prizes to be won • Free entertainment throughout the day!

A wedding showcase catering to couples from the local and surrounding areas. The best way to plan your wedding is locally at a bridal show. At bridal shows you get to meet the wedding professionals and to see if you like them and their products.

Weddings are exciting, personal, once-in-a lifetime events. Since most brides and grooms-to-be have little or no experience in buying wedding goods and services research is critical. And, while online research is an excellent resource, attending a bridal show is the best opportunity to ask questions, compare prices, quality, styles and to make informed buying decisions.

Admission to Your Local Wedding Expo is only $5 per person, which includes wedding magazines, special offers and much more valued at over $30. Every attendee will have a chance at winning many great door prizes on the day. There will be two separate entry barrels – one for the bridal couple from which we will draw several wedding prizes – and the other for all general attendees which we will draw general door prices.

Mystery Bonus Prize - Pre-registration Competition. Couples can also pre-register to qualify for our mystery bonus prize which will be drawn at the event by emailing your details to info@twppublishing.com.au with the subject as ‘Pre-registration for All Seasons Margaret River – Your Local Wedding Expo –. Please email through your full name, address, day time phone number, email address, wedding date and all services already booked. This is a great way to also receive an information pack containing all information from the expo if you are unable to attend – please simply state that you would like a pack sent out to you.
