Who are they? The Claptomaniacs formed in 2014 in the Noosa shire with a common love for music of their own times. They are all locals, experienced musicians with thousands of hours of professional performances under their belts respectively.
Are they just another cover band? No, they select quality dance and ballad material, initially from Eric Clapton's huge repertoire, then from a limited range of bands. They don't attempt to act as a multi-person karaoke machine. Are they a tribute band? No, while they do love to give tribute to the artists they cover. No impersonations, fancy dress costumes, wigs or face paint, just good music.
Who do they cover? The repertoire includes material originally performed by Eric Clapton/Cream, Joe Cocker, Steely Dan, the Doobie Brothers, Rolling Stones, Boz Scaggs, Atlanta Rhythm Section and more. Lead singer Ken Gamble is widely commended for his renditions of Joe Cocker's vocal and performance style.
