Mike Elrington - Two Lucky Stars (2015)

With his blistering guitar playing, soulful, gut-wrenching vocals and innovative songwriting, thirty year old Mike Elrington is quickly showing promise as one of the most exciting young performers in Australia today. Whether working with his three-piece electric band (The Advocates) or as an acoustic solo act, Mike’s original mix of driving Rock/Blues/Prog/Alternative/Pop and Acoustic Folk/Rock delivers with raw passion and dynamite in every performance.

After winning his High School Battle of the Bands competition in 1999, Mike started his career in Adelaide and was a regular performer at the city’s premier live music venue-The Governor Hindmarsh Hotel. Gigs at the Gov included many various supports for local and interstate touring blues/roots acts. A move to Melbourne in 2000 saw Mike record his debut solo record-“Too Good to be True”, (Produced by the Aria-award winning Peter “Reggie” Bowman-Ex-Southern Sons, Tommy Emmanuel, James Reyne) an exceptionally well-crafted mix of Blues/Rock/Pop with a modern contemporary edge. Since its release, “Too Good to be True” has played a big part in helping Mike to establish his name in the Aussie independent blues scene, tour the country multiple times as well as complete two self-managed & self-funded national tours of the United States. He also released another 4 albums independently and is showing no signs of slowing down. With many years of touring Australia, the USA, and releasing 5 albums along the way, this man is only just getting started in his lifelong journey of music.
