Top Noosa cover band The Claptomaniacs are back again at Tewantin Noosa RSL this Saturday 6 November from 7-10pm.
If you haven’t heard the band yet, and you like authentic renditions of classic transatlantic music from the late ’60s to ’90s, pick up the phone and book a table on 5447 1766 for a great show in the bistro performed by one of the tightest five-piece ensembles around. Even national rock historian Glenn A Baker has commented favourably on The Claptomaniacs!
A typical performance will feature material from the likes of the Doobie Brothers, Joe Cocker, Steely Dan, Eric Clapton, The Doors, Travelling Wilburys, Boz Scaggs, Steve Miller Band and many more – and the always-included five-song Rolling Stones set charges up the last bracket of the night.
Lead singer Ken Gamble, who can change from the soaring serenity of Roy Orbison to the granular gruff of Cocker with ease, is tightly supported by Clapton guitar maestro David Zuric and the keyboard magnificence of Jonathan May. These three in turn are kept in line by expert bassist Jon Brown and drummer Alan Lander.
The band will start cruisily, building up to a dance spectacular – so get in early (the show always books out at Tewantin), order a great meal and adequate liquids, and get ready to rock.
And make sure to diarise The Claptomaniacs’ upcoming appearance at Cooroy RSL Members’ Christmas get-together event on Saturday December 4. Bookings for performances at 5447 6131.
