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 Aitken was a semifinalist on Beale Street, Memphis at the 2026 International Blues Challenge. 8 Ball Aitken Band plus Taya Chani were sent to represent the Blues Association of South East Queensland. 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. 8 Ball’s previous two self-produced albums ‘ICE CREAM MAN’ & ‘ICE CREAM MAN 2’ both hit #1 on the Australian Blues & Roots Charts. The cast of musicians include 8 Ball’s band plus Grammy winning drummer Tom Hambridge (Buddy Guy) and saxophone legend Buddy Leach (George Thorogood & The Destroyers). 8 Ball regularly tours Australia and USA.

I highly recommend it.” Philly Cheeze’s Rock & Blues Reviews "I first saw him when he was young, hairy and straight outa Brisbane. Now he’s all growed up and going global. Unstoppable!” Ross Wilson (Daddy Cool, Eagle Rock), Melbourne, Australia "8 Ball is not an act any band wants to follow! ....even a 5 piece band will have to do some quick and serious note pounding to get 8-ball's vibe off the stage, it just hangs in the air long after he is gone.....he's a freakin solo red headed infector...!" Mitch Lind, owner/promoter of the Riverhawk and Stringbreak Music Festivals, Florida, USA “This is outstanding. The way it should be done. You have a new fan.” Ray Wylie Hubbard (Snake Farm), Texas, USA - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/paynesville/8-ball-aitken-live-paynesville-wine-bar-vic-fri-feb-6th/200029616039401 - **Event Categories**: music, entertainment, festivals, music-festivals, contests, performances - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details ## Event venue details - **city**: Paynesville - **state**: VI - **country**: Australia - **location**: Paynesville Wine Bar - **lat**: -37.918572940819 - **long**: 147.72531564632 - **full address**: Paynesville Wine Bar, Ferry Cafe, Paynesville Rd, Paynesville VIC 3880, Australia, Paynesville ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: 8 Ball Aitken ?
