Joe Ashwin

Electric Guitar

Joe was raised in the countryside of the Cotswold's in Gloucestershire, England and fell in love with guitar during his school years. Almost entirely self taught, Joe played in several local bands and wrote a huge amount of material. Eventually it was clear that playing guitar was simply what he wanted to do. In 2006-7 he attended The Brighton Institute of Modern Music to complete a higher diploma in professional musicianship (guitar).

Now living in Brighton he has been working on improving himself as a player and his knowledge of the music industry. He has extensive touring and studio experience, mostly with the main musical project the progressive metal band 'Stone Circle' in which he is the vocalist, lead guitarist and primary songwriter.

Now a freelance guitarist, Joe is very happy to have ever growing avenues to do what he loves the most. Joe joined Hofesh Shechter Company in March 2010.
