The Whitlams

The Whitlams are one of Australia’s most loved live acts, known for bittersweet balladry, sharp storytelling and classic songs including the JJJ Hottest 100 No. 1 “No Aphrodisiac”.

Since the release of their beloved platinum-selling album Eternal Nightcap, The Whitlams have built a loyal following that is stronger today than ever. Equally at home in intimate pubs, concert halls and orchestral settings, their live shows blend humour, musicianship and singalong classics.

Led by Tim Freedman since 1993, the band features long-time members Jak Housden on guitar and Terepai Richmond on drums, with 22-time Golden Guitar-winning producer Matt Fell joining on bass for the Maldives dates.

Recent acclaimed albums Sancho and Kookaburra have added fresh energy to the set, while leaving plenty of room for the songs fans know and love.

Recent tours have drawn glowing praise:

“There’s elation in the room, and a profound appreciation triangulated between the band, orchestra and audience in these final moments. What luck we still get to do this.” David James Young – Scenstr

“You walked out feeling like you’d been inside something rare: a night that started in blue hush and ended in joyful noise.” Andy Kershaw – Music Kingdom

“Relax all day, share in great music, dance long into the evening!”
