Clayton Bolger

Clayton Bolger, a talented acoustic soloist from Perth, Western Australia, is dedicated to enchanting audiences with his soulful music. Driven by a deep appreciation for 1970s singer/songwriters, Clayton seeks to enthrall music enthusiasts with his distinctive performance style. In an era where technology is increasingly prevalent, Clayton embraces simplicity, relying solely on his acoustic guitar and vocals; shunning stomp boxes, loop pedals and vocal harmonisers. His performances are entirely from memory, ensuring a pure and unmediated musical experience, with no iPad in sight.

​

Eager to showcase his versatility, Clayton draws from an extensive repertoire of covers spanning various eras. While he often gravitates toward the rich musical landscape of the 20th century, he occasionally delights his audience with contemporary tracks or his own original compositions.

​

In addition to his solo performances, Clayton leads the acoustic rock trio Wesley Goodlet Jamboree Scouts, affectionately known as The Wesleys. The WesGoods share a similarly diverse range as Clayton’s solo acts, joyfully resurrecting forgotten classics. One punter once memorably quipped at a gig, "Most bands play ten standards and one surprise; you guys play ten surprises and one standard!"

To get more info about The Wesleys, please contact Shaun Street, the trio's original bass player and director of Giglist and Perth Open Mic.

In either solo or trio format, Clayton can provide a musical background for any occasion, be it a private function, wedding, birthday or pub stint.
