After almost two decades of living in remote communities in Australia, working with underprivileged Indigenous children so that they may tell their stories through writing, singing and recording their original songs, Melbourne-born musician Chris Aitken poignantly tells his own stories based on his experiences and observations in his second CD, titled “Sometimes I Wonder Where I Am”, which he will launch at The Fyrefly, St Kilda on Friday, August 23.

A multi-instrumentalist (he plays guitar, ukulele, drums and harmonica) and former Melbourne Demons footballer, Chris recorded the album accompanied by an accomplished backing band featuring his brother Wilbur Wilde on sax, Jason Vorherr on bass, Anthony Barnhill on piano, guitarist Rob Muinos and daughter Holly Shoar on violin and backing vocals.
