8 Ball Aitken Playing at the Ship
July 10, 2009 by Irene Duma
Bumped into 8 Ball Aitken at The Newfoundland Embassy in Canso, Nova Scotia. Actually, The Newfoundland Embassy is anywhere the Newfoundland band Shannygannock parks their trailer. This time it was parked at Stanfest, and I met up with singer Chris Andrews on Sunday afternoon, where he kindly invited me to a “cocktail reception” they were hosting.
That’s where I got to meet 8 Ball, who told me he’d be in St. John’s the next week. He’ll be here this Saturday at the Ship. Sweet stompin’ swampgrass yeeha.
Above is the music video for ‘Cyclone Country’, a single from the album ‘Rebel With A Cause’ by ‘8 Ball Aitken’.
Check out Aitken’s web site – and all the awards he’s won.

As for The Newfoundland Embassy? Can’t wait for them to roll back in town. The cocktail party was magic, with huge boxes of shrimp being hand-delivered by a famous Digby, Nova Scotia Fishing Co. (sorry, I can’t remember the name, but his boat is 80 feet long and they export to Denmark mostly. Anyone?.)
Shannygannock’s Bob Pine says the boxes of shrimp are the best chick magnets he’s ever seen. Take that Axe.
