8 Ball Aitken - Live at The Nook Cooroy
Friday 21st Aug | 6:30pm | Ages 13+ | BYO
Expect a night of world-class blues, soulful storytelling, masterful slide guitar and the kind of authentic musicianship that can only come from a lifetime spent on the road.
Whether you're a long-time blues fan or simply love discovering outstanding live music, this is a show not to be missed.
Fresh from topping the Australian Blues & Roots Charts and preparing to represent South East Queensland at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, 8 Ball Aitken is bringing his electrifying live show to The Nook.
A world-travelled performer who has taken his unique blend of blues, soul, swamp-rock and slide guitar across more than twenty countries, 8 Ball has built a loyal following through relentless touring, exceptional musicianship and unforgettable live performances.
After spending nine years based in Nashville, Tennessee, working alongside some of the biggest names in blues music, 8 Ball returned home to Queensland where he continues to write, record and produce chart-topping music from his Glass House Mountains studio.
His latest collaboration album, Nightbird, recorded with powerhouse soul singer Taya Chani, has already produced two #1 Australian AMRAP Regional Chart singles and become a favourite on festival stages around the country.
Set inside The Nook’s cosy 40-person space, this is live music up close, personal and completely immersive.
BYO drinks, bring your people, and settle in for a Sunday afternoon of songs that linger long after the final note.
