Welcome to 8 Ball Aitken's Official Website
Former banana picker from Far North Queensland, 8 Ball Aitken performs uniquely Australian alternative country, blues & roots anthems -- contemporary honk, stomp, Aussie swamp rock played on a big slide guitar.
This is a raw sound from the deep north, straight out of the Mareeba Delta, all steamy and bouncing off the remnants of extinct volcanoes, booming through the canefields. 8 Ball rolls into your personal soundtrack, packing wild wet tropics cowboy songs from the roadside, original roots music with balls.
