8 BALL AITKEN + TAYA CHANI: NIGHTBIRD ALBUM TOUR 💙🎤🎤🎸🎹🎸🥁📀🥳Two heavyweights of the Australian blues-rock-soul scene 8 BALL AITKEN + TAYA CHANI have teamed up with a new album project ‘Nightbird’.
The title-track ‘Nightbird’ immediately hit #1 on the Australian AMRAP Regional Charts in March 2025 for two weeks in a row, as did their second single ‘Miss You The Most’ in May. Their signature harmonies & groovy guitars have proved to be a winning combination. 8 Ball Aitken & Taya Chani are touring Australia for the rest of the year on the Nightbird Album Tour.
8 BALL AITKEN has performed around the world for more than a decade across twenty countries to date. He moved to Nashville in 2012 & worked for nine years with many of the best in the blues & roots business. 8 Ball also won second place in the 2021 International New Orleans Cigar Box Guitar Festival.
Soul-blues singer TAYA CHANI released her debut album 'Restless Heart' ro widespread airplay & rave reviews in 2019. In 2023, the duo released their first collaboration, ‘Only Guiding Light’ from album ‘Ice Cream Man 2’ that hit #1 on the Australian Blues & Roots Charts.
8 Ball & Taya’s mutual love for Southern American music, blues, country, soul & fancy jazz chords brought them together. Whilst on their first Australian tour in 2022, they began co-writing songs. They realised very quickly that they had an album worth if songs & set a studio date.
The cast of musicians on the new ‘Nightbird’ album include US saxophone legend Buddy Leach (George Thorogood & The Destroyers), drummer extraordinaire Declan Kelly, & 8 Ball’s younger brother Dillion James Aitken on keys.
