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.
