8 BALL AITKEN
Far North Queensland's best loved banana picker (turned full-time guitar picker) 8 Ball Aitken has just released his third album, 'REBEL WITH A CAUSE'. The album was recorded on vintage analogue equipment and produced by legendary country producer Garth Porter and is now available nationally through MGM Distribution.
8 Ball Aitken is authentic - a real-deal Aussie character from the bush who rattles the roof, stomps the planks, and gets his audiences whooping and hollering along in a frenzy of pure exuberance. A 2008 Toyota Star Maker Grand Finalist in Tamworth and a 2007 graduate of the CMAA College of Country Music, 8 Ball plays slide guitar, dobro, banjo, mandolin, lap steel, and pedal steel guitar.
8 Ball
has performed around Australia, USA, Japan & Fiji playing a wide range
of festivals, clubs, pubs and special events. Highlights include the Tamworth
Country Music Festival, the Gympie Muster, the East Coast Blues & Roots
Festival in Byron Bay, the Australian National Blues Festival in Goulburn
and the Woodford Folk Festival, to name a few. 8 Ball will be
continuing to tour around Australia in 2008 to support the release of
'REBEL WITH A CAUSE'.
