AL Biography Short Version SR WILDSIDE ARTIST MANAGEMENT_ Aynsley Lister Biography "Superb" - THE TIMES “His guitar playing is a fire hazard” – MOJO When explosive natural ability collides with fiery, emotionally charged compositions, the result is Aynsley Lister; an incredible guitarist whose brand of blues-based rock delivers contemporary song writing fueled with the kind of heart and soul that’s missing from so much modern music. Whether passionately writing and recording his own material or mesmerising audiences at his live shows one thing is abundantly clear: music is hard-wired to his DNA and flows from his fingertips like sonic bolts of lightning. With over 86,000 albums sold, lashings of critical acclaim and years of high profile touring, Lister’s resumé speaks for itself and firmly secures his position as a leading light in the resurgence of British blues-infused music. In hindsight, it's clear Aynsley was born to be a musician. As a child he was hypnotised by his dad's old guitar and at the age of eight was finally gifted his very own. The moment he held that first six-string the outcome was inevitable; he was going to be a guitarist. Blessed with the coolest dad in town, regularly spinning Hendrix, Cream, Fleetwood Mac and a whole host of bewitching blues for his spellbound son, Aynsley taught himself to play with relentless dedication and a precociously attuned ear, spending hours copying his favourite records note for note. Peter Green, Albert King, Clapton and Kossoff weren't just his heroes; they became his teachers. Blazing a trail in a bar band from the age of 13 honed his skills and in 1998 Thomas Ruf signed Aynsley to his label, hooking him up with Stevie Ray Vaughan's producer Jim Gaines to record his self titled debut disc, kicking off a successful relationship with Ruf Records that saw him release 7 albums and 2 DVD's in ten years. Their influence, coupled with his dynamite live shows and intense touring schedule, earned high profile support slots with established artists like Walter Trout, John Mayall and Robert Cray, whilst rousing festival appearances alongside artists like the Fun Lovin' Criminals cemented his standing as an artist whose work, although rooted in blues, transcended the genre with a fiery modern sound. In 2007 Aynsley was the only British artist to be named in Classic Rock magazine's "Top 10 Contemporary Blues Artists", alongside John Mayer and Joe Bonamassa. In 2008 Aynsley's huge crossover potential saw him sign to Manhaton Records and the following year released 'Equilibrium', an album that exposed Lister in his best ever form and stormed into Classic Rock’s Top 50 Albums of 2009. The subsequent tour saw Aynsley playing to sold out shows to over 16,000 people whilst opening for the legendary Lynyrd Skynyrd, after which he and his band relocated to the Tower Arts Centre and with the tape rolling, nailed a cracking rendition of their high-octane live set to produce the storming 'Tower Sessions' record, which was consequently voted ‘Best Live Album’ in the 2011 Blues Matters Writers Poll. Aynsley is currently hard at work on his next record, intent on creating the finest album of his career. The eagerly anticipated new material is slated for release in early 2013 and promises to be the best album of his career to date.

  • Bluesroute Helmond 2018
    BLUESROUTE HELMOND 2018 VOORWOORD Voor de 8e keer staat het centrum van Helmond eind oktober 2018 weer compleet in het teken van de Bluesroute Helmond! Vele bluesliefhebbers hebben reikhalzend uitgekeken naar één van de mooiste bluesfestivals die de Benelux rijk is. Dit jaar staat een record aantal nationale en internationale bluesacts geprogrammeerd die allemaal aan de hoge standaard van de organisatie voldoen. Er staat bekende namen op de podia, maar zeker zo leuk zijn de onbekende namen. Daarin steekt de organisatie het meeste werk en het resultaat is dan ook in een woord samen te vatten: “TOPKWALITEIT!”. En dat allemaal gratis! Vierendertig bands treden op dit jaar op Bluesroute Helmond. Deze bands komen uit Helmond, de regio, uit Nederland, de Benelux, Frankrijk en de Verenigde Staten. Elk jaar zie je ook een aantal bands op herhaling, al dan niet onder een andere naam of met een andere samenstelling. Dit aantal is bijzonder klein dit jaar. Dit jaar kreeg de organisatie aanmeldingen om te spelen van bands van over heel de wereld, meer als ooit! Heel logisch omdat dit evenement al jaren lang geen lokaal festivalletje meer is, maar meer en meer een toonaangevend festival van formaat is. In het Bluesroute-boekje wordt elke band en elke locatie uitgebreid gepresenteerd, compleet met diverse links zodat een goed beeld (en geluid) gevormd kan worden over die band en je zodoende vooraf je eigen route kan plannen. De veranderingen ten opzichte van de vorige Bluesroute zijn niet zo groot als andere jaren. De organisatie kiest dit jaar niet perse voor groei, ‘We kiezen dit jaar voor kwaliteit boven kwantiteit’ Dit blijkt ook uit de enige opmerking die hardnekkig de kop op blijft steken, namelijk “We konden niet alle bands zien die we graag zouden willen zien”.

  • La Hora Del Blues
    LA HORA DEL BLUES http://www.lahoradelblues.com/criticas.htm década. Si sois de los que considerais que a partir de aquellos años los guitarristas de blues se han ido diluyendo y pensais que ya no van a salir otros con el carisma de aquella vieja estirpe, debo deciros que estais equivocados. Oli Brown viene con nuevos proyectos y propuestas para reemplazar a aquella generación y está dispuesto a cargar con la antorcha del blues del siglo XXI y a hacerse con un lugar de privilegio entre las nuevas generaciones, tomando como inspiración a Walter Trout, Buddy Guy o Aynsley Lister. Este álbum que estamos reseñando recoge las bases y la piedra filosofal del auténtico espíritu del blues para transformarlo en la nueva savia y esencia del blues para de este modo perpetuarlo durante los próximos decenios. MUY BUENO. Among the great British rock-blues guitar players who were worshipped in the sixties by thousands of young people, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Jef Beck or Peter Green were the most outstanding ones, as they completely changed the musical patterns of that decade. If you believe since then on, blues guitar players have gradually diluted and it is impossible to find new musicians with the charismatic qualities of that old lineage, you are wrong. Oli Brown comes with new projects and ideas to replace that old generation. He is ready to carry the XXIst century blues torch and get a prominent place among the new generations, with the great inspirations of musicians like Walter Trout, Buddy Guy or Aynsley Lister. His new record collects the basis of the genuine spirit of blues to transform it into the new essence of blues to perpetuate it along the next decades.

  • BIO Concert Promoter 2016-2017
    CONCERT PROMOTER BIO 2016/2017 MASCOT LABEL GROUP/PROVOGUE Beth Hart is on fire. Right now, the Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter is riding a creative tidal wave, firing out acclaimed albums, hooking up with the biggest names in music and rocking the house each night with that celebrated burnt-honey voice. In 2016, the headline news is Beth’s latest album, Fire On The Floor (out 14 October 2016 (Europe / Australia / New Zealand) and 3 February 2017 (US / CanaDa) on Provogue/Mascot Label Group): a release that even this fiercely self-critical artist describes as “pretty frickin’ good”. But let’s not forget the backstory that brought her here… The Blues Magazine once dubbed Beth Hart “the ultimate female rock star”, and there’s no doubt that her two-decade career is the ultimate thrill-ride. Born in Los Angeles, she released a fistful of hit albums through the ’90s, then reignited in the post-millennium as both a solo artist and the head-turning vocalist for guitar heroes like Joe Bonamassa, Jeff Beck, BuDDy Guy and Slash. “Extraordinary,” wrote The Times of her once-a-generation voicebox, while The Guardian praised her “daring, brooding and angry” performances. It’s no wonder she’s been nominated for three Blues Music Awards. But it’s in recent times that Beth has truly blossomed. In April 2015, she released Better Than Home: a critical and commercial smash that toppeD the iTunes Blues Chart and was crowneD #4 Best Blues Album Of The Year by Mojo magazine. The release led her to fill AmsterDam’s Heineken Music Hall with 5,500 fans (her largest club show to Date).

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 11, 2012 WALTER TROUT RETURNS
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 11, 2012 WALTER TROUT RETURNS WITH BLUES FOR THE MODERN DAZE VIA THE MASCOT LABEL GROUP ON APRIL 24, 2012 TROUT EXTENDS TOUR WITH 43 U.S. APPEARANCES NOW SCHEDULED Tour Kicks Off On April 25th at Belly Up Tavern In Solana Beach, CA, Features 4-Night Stand At NYC's Iridium in May, and Sees Trout Appear at 14 Festivals New York --- The Mascot Label Group will release Walter Trout's 21st album Blues For The Modern Daze on April 24. The offering displays the contemporary guitar legend returning to his hard-core blues roots, with songwriting at a creative and personal zenith. Blues For The Modern Daze is Trout’s sixth recording for Provogue Records, a division of the Mascot Label Group, and his first pure blues album in 23 years as a bandleader. Trout’s practical schooling in blues started when he arrived in Los Angeles in 1973 and got gigs behind Hooker, Big Mama Thornton, Finis Tasby, Pee Wee Crayton, Lowell Fulsom, Percy Mayfield and Joe Tex. In 1981 he joined the remaining original members of Canned Heat. But the real turning point was his tenure with British blues giant John Mayall. Trout became part of the Bluesbreakers’ lineage of great guitarists along with Eric Clapton, Peter Green and Mick Taylor. Beginning in 1984 he shared six-string duties with Coco Montoya in Mayall’s band, creating a flexible guitar dynamic that helped provide the Bluesbreakers a renaissance that returned the group to the apex of the international blues touring circuit. Trout began leading his own group in 1989 and cut his debut album Life In the Jungle, rapidly becoming a star in Europe.
