Clearwater Rising at The Hoey Moey in Coffs HarbourThere will always be conversations about who was the greatest rock band in history, and we’ll never all agree. How could we, when bands like the Beatles, Stones, Doors, Zeppelin and Creedence Clearwater Revival all wore the crown during rock’s greatest era?
What can’t be disputed is that CCR released more top-40 singles in just three years than anyone, anywhere, ever. It was an amazing non-stop flurry of hit after hit, from ‘Susie Q’ in early ‘68 to their swan song ‘Have You Ever Seen the Rain’ in 1970.
In three short years, Creedence released a career’s worth of music – Proud Mary, Born on the Bayou, Bad Moon Rising, Lodi, Down on the Corner, Fortunate Son, Travellin’ Band, Lookin’ Out My Backdoor, Hey Tonight – and all the rest! You couldn’t turn on the radio without hearing a Creedence tune. You couldn’t see a cover band without hearing a few of the many CCR hits. In fact, they quickly became the most covered band of all-time.
Fast forward to the mid-2020’s and they’re still enormously popular, both on the radio and with today’s cover bands. The world still wants to hear more Creedence Clearwater Revival – and who could blame them . . .
Enter ‘Clearwater Rising’
From the border region of NSW/Qld, the 4-piece ‘Clearwater Rising’ play the classic collection of CCR’s most memorable tunes with remarkable similarity, giving Creedence a roaring revival with old-school authenticity.
Making up the band are some of Australia’s most roadworthy musicians: vocalist Col Germano, guitarist Geoff Wight, Bruce Baker on bass and Pete Wilkins on drums. These rock veterans are among the few that can belt out Creedence classics with the chiselled bark & bite that made CCR so incredibly special.
So put a candle in the window and hitch a ride to the end of the highway - we’re going up around the bend, and you’re coming with us
