Clayton Doley

The most unique and sophisticated voice in contemporary retro soul today! Doley is a master musician, a killer boogie woogie piano player, a super funky Hammond player. He is also a remarkable singer/songwriter with a passion for creating new works that could have been recorded by the R&B greats from the 50’s and 60’s. All with the might and power of a 4-piece horn section, it’s a very Dynamic sound!
Clayton has been invited to play his original music at some of the biggest festivals in the world such as Montreal International Jazz Festival, Byron Bay Blues Festival, Toronto Jazz Festival and Tremblant International Blues Festival to name a few.
As a recording artist he has played keyboards on countless hit songs and albums by the likes Renee Geyer, Jimmy Barnes, and Harry Manx. As a touring musician he has played all over the world with the likes of Water Wolfman Washington, The Divinyls, Joe Bonnamassa and Eugene Hideaway Bridges.
