C.W. Ayon-One Man Band

About Me



FOR BOOKING INFO SEND EMAIL TO: [email protected] If the Black Keys and the White Stripes were to have a desert-borne bastard son, he would sound precisely like C.W. Ayon, a musician with enough old-school mojo to power a roadhouse for a month. Combining gritty vocals with guitar notes previously only imagined by angels cast out of heaven, C.W. welds ironclad blues riffs with a bassline forged in the fires of Hell to pay tribute to the lost Gods of electric blues. Hendrix shakes hands with Stevie Ray. Junior Brown tosses a pick to RL Burnside. Jimmy Page raises a glass with Hank. It’s the way C.W. grew up in small-town rural New Mexico, with a blend of influences sharing a common thread of music from the heart. No sweetness or frilly lace, just hard-hitting songs about love, life, and the blues that make it all stick to the wall. Sometimes, it’s okay to just sit back, toss down a shot, and let the blues tear you up. Keep your hands and arms inside at all times, and please remain seated until the ride comes to a full stop. C.W. will be your personal tour guide. So,If you're in the mood for some bluesy, country type tunes delivered from the heart of a small town boy, stick around cause he's just getting started. C.W. has shared the stage with many great bands and has opened shows for metal bands, rockablilly bands, punk bands, country bands, all kinds of bands like: Three Bad Jacks, The Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash, Josh Craig & the Alien Blakk, Ghostwriter, Atomic Pink, The Shudders, Blues Messiah, The Rawdogs and The Liars.
