Mal
Eastick - Guitar

A devilish slide guitar mixing with a tight rhythm section and harmonica bends like
you've never heard before have given this act a unique sound and when the vocals kick in it just becomes pure listening heaven or...dancing!!
Mal’s
early career was epitomized by his time with legendary band, The Stars,
and his work on the Andy Durant Memorial concert and album. In the 1980s
Mal played in the Jimmy Barnes Band and also formed his own touring
outfit. Two albums, Southern Line and Spirit have followed. Both
critically acclaimed, they are available through Mal’s own label,
Bluefish Records.
Mal has now crafted a dynamic new show which draws on some of the
highlights of his 30 year career as one of Australia’s leading guitar
players. He is making up for the lost years with a vengeance. Mal has
been widening his musical horizons, through honky-tonk and rock. He has
created an acoustic duo with vocalist John Makey and has been performing
in select gigs around NSW. He has resumed promotion of the re-released
“Spirit” album and is passing on his talents and experience to guitar
students of all abilities.
Mal
played the Broadbeach Blues Festival in 2006 with Kevin Borich. He
played two killer Thredbo Blues Festival shows with the Spirit album
band in January 2007 and has appeared in various shows as a guest with
Bluezone at the Basement, in a guitar show featuring Kevin Borich, Phil
Emmanuel, Phil Manning and others.
Mal
Eastick was also a headliner for the "Experience" shows with Kevin
Borich & Steve Edmonds in March 2007. These shows celebrated the music
of Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan. They were incredible events for
blues and guitar lovers around the southern nation. More "Experience"
shows are coming up on the North Coast of NSW and elsewhere. Check your
local live music guides.
