Audiences can expect an evening of fan favourites from Aynsley Lister’s extensive back catalogue mixed with newer material from his most recent highly acclaimed albums.
The Arlington Arts Centre says his music is suitable for fans of: Gary Clarke Jnr., Eric Clapton, The Black Keys, John Mayer, and Tedeschi Trucks.
And his website notes: “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.”
