Nashville, TN. (Top40 Charts/ Aspirion/ Northwind Records) - Aspirion/ Northwind recording artist Mike Aiken has got the perfect cure for those summertime blues with the release of "Find Me," the first single from his new CD Hula Girl Highway. Written by Aiken, the up-tempo melody and light hearted lyrics will make you want to chuck it all, get out of dodge, and go coastal.
Not many people get to live life on their terms. But that is exactly what Mike Aiken has been able to do combining his three greatest passions in life, music, sailing and adventure. With Hula Girl Highway, Mike's sophomore record for Aspirion/Northwind Records, he continues to cement his place as an authentic voice of a wayfaring lifestyle that most of us will only just dream about.
"I come from those back roads, dirt under my boots, now I live on the water with a country point of view," Mike sings in "Find Me". "This one came to me while anchored in the Bahamas, holed up during a hellacious storm," he recalls. "We had wind generators to make drinking water and were better off than most. It was then I knew I was one of the luckiest SOB's in the world to have the chance to live this lifestyle."
A modern-day troubadour, Mike's sailed the waters less traveled entertaining people from Canada to the Caribbean and beyond. 2007 saw the release of his Aspirion/Northwind debut Just Add Salt. Mike's mix of country and roots rock with a Caribbean flair struck the right chord with listeners hitting the New Music Weekly, Americana and Roots Music charts.
A believer in giving back, his philanthropic activities include being a sponsor of the Great Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race benefiting the area's environmental interests, as well as founder of the "Aiken and Friends Music Festival" which helps fund music education.
Hula Girl Highway is distributed by Aspirion/Northwind Records; National Radio Promotion for the single "Find Me" is being handled by Aspirion Records and Bill Wence Promotions, publicity by The Jayne Gang.
