He was also selected as one of a handful of Australia’s best guitarists on several tours to celebrate the great styles and soulful playing of influences Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan & Gary Moore.

Born in Adelaide, South Australia in 1954, Mal began playing at age 16, became a professional guitarist at age 18, has been “on the road” ever since, and intends to continue playing great guitar music for as long as he can do a good job of it into the future. From “pre-COVID” to the present, Mal has been active playing at select intervals with the following acts: Mal Eastick’s Review, The Mal Eastick & Andrew Hegedus acoustic Duo, Mal Eastick & the Spirit Band, The Mal Eastick Band (different lineup), The Mal Eastick & Milena Barrett Blues Project, Stars, & the NSW North Coast blues/boogie band Cool Shot plus various guest appearances with other acts.

Mal is self-taught through his love of fine music and how it works, plus his experiences and his unflinching determination to be the best player he can be. He loves to pass this knowledge on to keen students of music and the guitar in particular. If interested, check out Mal’s Tuition page on this site for details.
