8 Ball Aitken

Living in Nashville, USA for the past three years, he continues to tour internationally, playing 200+ gigs per year. 8 Ball is known for his exciting live shows and his original, down-home roots sound.

8 Ball's latest release, ‘SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE’, was recorded in Nashville with hot session musicians including members of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Little Big Town, and members of Robert Plant's, Emmylou Harris', and Alison Krauss' bands. 8 Ball’s single ‘I’m Going To Jail’ hit number #1 for three weeks on the Australian CMR charts in 2014. His music has been used on popular USA television shows ‘Justified’, 'Parking Wars', and ‘Breaking Amish’.
