Ashley Naylor

Upcoming Tour Dates

THU 17 SEP 2026
Shotkickers, 744 High st, Thornbury, VIC 3071

The Ashley Naylor Spaceship Trio will perform a set of Jimi Hendrix material to mark the anniversary of his passing on September 18 1970. A constant source of inspiration for guitarists, the music of Hendrix is inimitable but Naylor confesses "it's so cathartic playing Jimi's songs and attempting to inhabit the universe of musical freedom he created". Ashley will open the night with a set of his guitar instrumental tunes from his acclaimed underground albums, 'Soundtracks' Volumes 1 and 2.
