Starfish Club Steve Clisby 1 September 2025

'Steve Clisby’s career has been about breaking down barriers. Growing up as a young black man in a largely segregated 1950s America. Creating an unlikely life for himself bringing soul music to Europe. Holding on to a love of jazz to carve out a 50 year career in a world besotted with rock n roll. Taking the leap to audition for The Voice while holding true to his musicianship. Collaborating with Thundamentals, Hermitude and Chew Fu at the age of 68. Nobody told Steve Clisby he couldn’t. So he did.' 

Steve Clisby. The man with the deeply soulful voice. Captivating audiences with his unique blend of jazz, soul and blues and his dynamic stage presence, is our guest for September.

Since making Australia his home  in 2013. His deep, velvet voice, emotive delivery and ability to connect with the audience has made him a highly respected figure on the Australian music scene.

Since his appearance on The Voice, he has continued to build his career as a solo artist. Blending elements of jazz, soul, blues, and R&B, 

Steve has toured extensively, performing at iconic venues and festivals across Australia with his authentic and heartfelt performances .

His music speaks to the heart, with lyrics that reflect his personal experiences and also his love for music. His journey from a passionate musician in the U.S. to a celebrated and still passionate artist in Australia is a testament to his dedication to his craft and his ability to evolve as an artist while staying true to his soulful roots. 

This exclusive performance promises a dynamic blend of jazz, soul, and blues, consolidated by a fantastic band with Bill Risby piano, Carl Dewhurst guitar, Jonathan Zwartz double bass and Hamish Stuart drums.
