8 Ball Aitken Band with Dillion James
Banshees Bar & Artspace
Come on down for a night of swamp blues and soul with the 8 Ball Aitken Band.
Fresh back from the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, where they made the Semi-Finals, 8 Ball and his band are hot world class performers, not to be missed! This time 8 Ball will also be supported by his brother and long term collaborator Dillion James!
8 Ball Aitken has toured the world performing his blues, soul, swamp-rock and groovy slide-guitar across twenty countries to date. He's earned a loyal fanbase from his live shows and internet videos, while paying his dues as a singer, songwriter, guitarist, and producer.
8 Ball moved to Nashville, Tennessee, USA in 2012 and worked for nine years with many of the best in the blues business today. He won second place in the 2021 International New Orleans Cigar Box Guitar Festival.
8 Ball is back with a brand-new collaboration album 'Nightbird'. He wrote and produced the recording with soul singer Taya Chani at his home studio in the Glass House Mountains. The title-track 'Nightbird' immediately hit #1 on the Australian AMRAP Regional Charts in March 2025 for two weeks in a row as did their second single 'Miss You The Most' in May. 8 Ball & Taya's signature harmonies and groovy guitars have proved to be a winning combination and festival favorite.
