The Clarksville Five | 8.30pm

The Clarksville Five are a Perth-based band known for their high-energy performances and original, hook-driven songs. Blending blues, soul, and a touch of Americana, their music spans foot-stomping rockers to soulful ballads. Expect infectious melodies, gritty guitar riffs, and grooves that keep the dance floor swinging.The five-piece had their first gig in 2018 and have graced stages at venues and festivals including the Gidgestock Music Festival (2024, 2022), Albany Blues Club (2024, 2025), Lyric’s Laneway Party, Honky Tonk Blues Bar, The Bird, Clancy’s Fremantle, Aardvark Bar, Sonar Bar and the Perth Folk & Roots Club.
