It’s party season!
Glass House Mountains musicians, 8 Ball Aitken and Jessy Lynch, are set to perform at the Maleny RSL at 7pm on Saturday January 6, as part of the 8 Ball Aitken Band’s first show of the year.
The singing couple have spent the last year touring Australia with their band and new baby boy ‘Sonny’ in tow. In June they had a number 1 Australian Blues and Roots Chart hit album, Ice Cream Man 2, that was recorded partly in Nashville, USA and also at their home studio in Glass House Mountains.
Performing his swampy-blues-rock across 20 countries to date over the last decade, 8 Ball Aitken has earned a loyal fanbase from his live shows and internet videos, while paying his dues as a singer, songwriter, slide-guitarist, and producer.
Nashville, Tennessee, beckoned 8 Ball in 2012 and he 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 hosted by blues woman Samantha Fish. He moved back to Australia in late 2020.
The cast of musicians include Jessy Lynch on vocals, Grammy winning drummer Tom Hambridge (Buddy Guy), saxophone legend Buddy Leach (George Thorogood & The Destroyers), Sydney soul singer Taya Chani and 8 Ball’s younger brother Dillion James Aitken on Hammond organ and piano.
