Maleny Lane, 38 Maple St, Maleny QLD 4552, Australia

Two crowd favourites are joining forces again! Swamp-blues rocker 8 Ball Aitken & Spanish guitar sorcerers Kallidad will be playing a Maleny and a Gold Coast co-headline gig in January. Be sure to book early bird tickets!

8 BALL AITKEN 8 Ball Aitken has toured the world for more than a decade performing his swampy-blues-rock across twenty countries to date. He’s earned a loyal fanbase from his live shows and internet videos, while paying his dues as a singer, songwriter, slide-guitarist, and producer. 8 Ball won second place in the 2021 International New Orleans Cigar Box Guitar Festival hosted by blues woman Samantha Fish. His album release ‘ICE CREAM MAN’ hit #1 on the Australian Blues & Roots Charts in March 2021. 8 Ball moved to Nashville, Tennessee, USA in 2012 and worked for nine years with many of the best in the blues business today. 8 Ball is back with a brand-new sound, a self-produced laidback soul album ‘HEART AND SOUL’. The recording was mostly completed in Nashville right before he re-located back to Australia eighteen months ago. The new album debuted at #3 on the Australian Blues & Roots Charts. KALLIDAD Kallidad combines Spanish guitar sorcery with rock and roll energy to create a once in a lifetime sound. The trio's notorious white facepaint masks their identities, shifting the focus to a musical style that is alive, intense, emotional and powerful. Kallidad's music is all instrumental- no lyrics are necessary to feel the energy and passion behind the music. Booming percussion and shredded nylon string guitars weave a deep web of sound that always leaves audiences breathless and begging for more!
