The Claptomaniacs

The Claptomaniacs are Sunshine Coast based musicians who began performing mainly Eric Clapton or Cream numbers to local audiences whenever they got the opportunity, but over the past half dozen years, they have also added a range of other material, notably Joe Cocker, Rolling Stones, Doobie Brothers, Steely Dan and other classic rock from the 60s and 70s. A few singles from artists like Procul Harum, the Doors and Atlanta Rhythm Section are also sprinkled through the program.

Initially performing at the Coolum RSL on the northern Sunshine Coast on a regular basis, they have since played at a range of other venues including a residence at the Mooloolaba Bowls, Noosa/Tewantin RSL, Coolum and Noosa Surf Clubs, the Yandina Hotel, Yandina Bowls, Bribie Is RSL, Woombye Hotel and a string of other venues, including the Cooroy Fusion Festival and Maleny Music Weekend.

If you can't help but turn up the occasional Clapton song you hear on the radio, if you enjoy a range of styles from psychedelic rock to blues and country, don't mind a bit of good old rock'nroll without having your eardrums butchered, then this band is for you.
