Description
Some say Blues comes from the heart & others say you need to sell your soul to the Devil. The former is most certainly the case for Victoria-based Blues n’ Roots guitarist and singer/songwriter Mike Elrington, who over the last four years has been writing & recording his ninth album ‘Aftershock’. During those four years Elrington had to endure the pain & sadness of a marriage break-up but used these lonely depressive times to help create his most honest & intimate release to date, using the process in a therapeutic way to help get him through one of the lowest times of his life.
‘Aftershock’ is a wonderfully open & honest twelve song collection of Blues/Roots music, with Elrington experimenting with various ideas, as he toys with differing genres that at times take him outside his comfort zone, but that all work so well. It’s a significant milestone in the career of Mike Elrington, the culmination of many years of blood, sweat and tears and the triumphant beginning of a brand new chapter of his story.
