Claude Hay@ The Commercial Hotel, Milton

Event Details

This will be the 6th time Claude has played The Commercial and every time he plays we get INUNDATED with requests to have him back immediately!! He is that good you just have to come and see for yourself…

BUT…this time is SPECIAL!!!

Claude is usually a one man band and rocks it alone up there, but this time he is travelin with a troupe of seasoned performers the likes you not heard in a while…they come together like Joni and Chachie albeit more electric (if at all possible?!) DO NOT MISS THIS!!!

Hailing from the Blue Mountains near Sydney, award winning Australian solo artist Claude Hay blends slide guitar, bass and drums to create music that invokes the best of stomping traditional blues, hard rock and booty-shaking funk, all delivered with chops to burn and a vocal range to match. Claude is perhaps the world’s ultimate Do-It- Yourself musician – forging his live sound on the back of looping technology which allows him to create a band vibe without the band. This approach has seen this fiercely independent artist build an audience for his music globally with the release of three award-winning home-made albums. Taking DIY a step further than most, Claude has built all his own equipment: there’s ‘Betty’, his double-necked guitar which he made out of a kitchen bench top; there’s ‘Stella’, his new ‘Cigar Box’ guitar which started its life as a six dollar baking tin. He’s also built his own dome house and studio from the ground up, and pimped out his tour van with a shower and bar (a great move when you consider how much time he spends on the road).
