This image will be the back cover of the 12″LP of our album _NO EMPTY WORDS_. The artwork has all gone to indiepool for final tweaking and proofing before the CDs and 12″LPs are manufactured.

We have a blog now at chrisaitkenmusic.com/blog so we can keep you up-to-date on how the CDs, 12″LP records, PinUp Campaign, and Album Release Concert preparations are coming along.

Here’s our fist Fan Highlight: Benoit Duguay. I saw him today and he asked if the concert is in May. I said “Yes”. Then he lightheartedly complained, “That’s so far away”. That kind of enthusiasm is worth more than all the money in the world.

Speaking of money, our PinUp Campaign is going well, but there are still lots of Rewards (CD, 12″LP, T-shirt, concert tickets, and packages that bundle Rewards) left. Please go to our PinUp Campaign and support us, if you haven’t already.

To hear an audio clip of one of our songs on the upcoming album please go to our blog entry for 20-Mar-2016.

Talk to you soon,

Chris & Devon

Final mixes have now been mastered!

Posted on March 20th, 2016   No Comments

After Devon signed off on the final mixes, I sent them all to Andy Krehm (Silverbirch Productions) on Tuesday morning, 7-Mar-2016, to be mastered. Mastering is the final sweetening of the songs to take them from a good mix (instrument levels balanced) to a finished radio-ready recording. A little while after Andy got to work, […]

Chris & Devon Aitken cover “Violin” (Amos Lee) as chosen by contest winner Mathew Guevarra

Posted on September 7th, 2014   2 Comments

Mathew Guevarra, the winner of the Best-Comment-About-Chris-&-Devon-Aitken­’s-Music contest, chose this song for us to cover. Devon read a few online comments about this song, thought about it, and is leaning toward this interpretation: the songwriter feels God’s presence only through his own music, but he longs to feel His presence outside the “violin”. If you […]

1 Day to Hollinger Park Gig / Fifth Artist Bio: Chris Aitken

Posted on July 30th, 2014   2 Comments

Like a fine wine, just in time, a legend in his own mind – Chris Aitken! Yeah, you’re not going to a very balanced biography here, because I’m writing this myself. That would make it an autobiography. From the musical styles I write and perform (urban folk, Christian, Jazz, New Country, and Pop), you might […]

2 Days to Hollinger Park Gig / Fourth Artist Bio: Devon Aitken

Posted on July 29th, 2014   No Comments

Devon has been singing since … anyone can remember! Offered whatever type of lessons she wanted when she was little, she answered, “Singing”. Not really a surprise as she’d already had a head start singing for years in the bath, in her bedroom, and with her friends. Whenever and wherever. Of course, lessons with local […]
