Biography
"As we head down the 'Hula Girl Highway' with Mike Aiken, he cranks up the fun one more notch with "Love You Tonight"!
- Steve Ferguson, Music Row Reporter of the Year, WTHO, Thomson, GA
*****
Riding the wave of his last two charting singles from "Hula
Girl Highway" comes Mike's latest self-penned, infectious love song, "Love You Tonight". Radio programming friendly at 3:08, "Love You Tonight" is a down-home, country roots tune where Mike shows his chops on mandolin, acoustic guitar and harmonica.
Known for his signature breezy sound, fun-loving station visits and the infamous CRS Rum Bus Express, Mike offers another side of himself in this catchy love song. "I wrote this tune for my wife, Amy. She's a mountain girl who fell for a country music man and moved to a life on a sailboat, the sea and the road. Life hasn't always been easy, but every mile has been a ball with her by my side," Mike said with a grin. "I think anyone who's ever been in love can relate to the feel of this song."
Like the ever-changing sea that he loves, there are many sides to Mike. Besides recording and touring, Mike works on his philanthropic projects that include the Aiken & Friends Fest and the Breezeway Blowout Concert. In it's fifth year, the
Aiken & Friends Fest benefits youth music education through a Country/Americana/Roots festival, or 'celebration of songwriters,'
that includes songwriting and guitar workshops, an in-the-round concert and full outdoor festival.
