Barry Leef’s

“DOOBIES,  EAGLES  AND  WEST  COAST  ROCK”  Show

featuring The Barry Leef Band with Kimi Tupaea

“Doobies, Eagles & West Coast Rock” is a two hour live rock show paying tribute to some of the world’s favourite bands from the 60s, 70s and 80’s – The Doobie Brothers, The Eagles, Crosby Stills & Nash, Creedence Clearwater, Santana and more.

Barry Leef has one of Australia’s best known voices, having been featured on over 170 TV and radio advertisements during 20 years as Sydney’s number one session singer. He has also fronted legendary Aussie bands Bakery and Supermarket, led the in-house band at Sydney’s Musician’s club for ten years, and performed with Frank Zappa, Elvin Bishop, Tom Jones and Jeff “Skunk” Baxter to name a few.

As anyone over 30 will know, these bands had over 100 worldwide hits between 1971 and 1990 and have all become staples of classic rock radio over the past 25 years. Their music is diverse, sophisticated, danceable and loved universally by adult music fans.

Barry has assembled an all-star band of Sydney's best singers and musicians to play all the big hits of some of rock’s all-time great bands. While Barry has had this show in mind for some time, the key to kick starting the venture was discovering vocalist Kimi Tupaea, who has the remarkable capacity to sound very much like one of the world’s most unique voices, Mike McDonald, whose entry into The Doobie Brothers in the late 70’s reignited their success with a second wave of big chart hits such as Takin' It to the Streets, What a Fool Believes, Little Darlin’, and Minute by Minute.

Barry Leef’s “Doobies, Eagles and West Coast Rock” show originally debuted at two sellout shows (2000 per night) at Sydney’s “Twilight At Taronga” concert series in February 2006. Following the first year’s success, the show was re-booked for the 2007 Twilight At Taronga series, and again sold out two consecutive nights. The Barry Leef Band will again be returning to Taronga for two concerts in 2009.

“Doobies, Eagles & West Coast Rock” has played to enthusiastic audiences in just about every large venue in Sydney over the past few years, as well as being booked for many corporate and special events – please see “Corporate” & “Testimonial” sections of this website.

The show features an all-star line-up of Sydney's best musicians performing the timeless songs of an unforgettable era of classic rock. Featured songs include –
