Known for his "surf by day, jam by night" ethos—also the title of his first book—Grunwald has become a festival favourite, delivering high-energy shows filled with gritty guitars and foot-stomping rhythms. As both troubadour and storyteller, he's captivated audiences across Australia, selling out venues with his dynamic stage presence.

With 12 studio albums under his belt and six Australian Top-50 releases, Grunwald’s accolades include five ARIA and four AIR nominations, two APRA Awards, and the Best International Act honour at the LA Music Critic Awards in 2014. Collaborating with Australian music heavyweights like Josh Teskey, Kasey Chambers, and Vika & Linda Bull, his 2020 album Push The Blues Away with Josh Teskey peaked at #8 on the ARIA charts. Grunwald has also shared stages with icons like James Brown, The Black Keys, and Jack Johnson, and graced the line-ups of major festivals worldwide, including ten invitations to Bluesfest.
