From the ashes of cover bands past rises a blazing new force in live entertainment — introducing the Central Coast’s ultimate rock experience: The Phoenix. Born in 2007 from the fiery passion of four seasoned local musicians, The Phoenix was created with one mission: to deliver a powerhouse covers show that spans the greatest rock anthems from the ’70s to today’s chart-toppers.

Meet the band:

➢ Clayton Johnson – commanding vocals that soar

➢ Vaughan Bridgeman – guitar riffs that ignite the stage

➢ Dave Warton – bass grooves that shake the ground

➢ Sonny Hinwood – the thundering heartbeat of the show

Together, they bring a high-voltage performance packed with the songs you love — played with precision, passion, and a whole lot of attitude. With decades of professional experience under their belts, these musicians know how to read a crowd and deliver a show that’s unforgettable.

What sets The Phoenix apart? It’s not just the music — it’s the spectacle. Their setlist is a curated journey through rock history, designed to fill the void in today’s live scene. Expect wild stage antics, tight musicianship, and a vibe that turns every gig into a full-blown rock event.

From high-profile corporate functions to packed pub nights across the Central Coast and Newcastle, The Phoenix has earned a reputation as the go-to band for audiences who want to feel the music as much as hear it.

The Phoenix brings their own professional-grade production to every show, but they’re equally comfortable working with in-house setups — flexibility is part of the package. The band is fully aware of venue-specific noise restrictions and always ensures their performance stays well within the required limits, without compromising on energy or impact. With a rock-solid work ethic and a killer setlist, The Phoenix is the perfect fit for pubs, clubs, private parties, and corporate events. Each show is tailored to suit the vibe and requirements of the occasion, making every performance unique and unforgettable.
