The State Theatre Centre of WA and RTRFM are announcing the return of The Courtyard Club, a free 8-week concert series taking place every Friday evening from November 1 to December 20 in the State Theatre Centre Courtyard.
RTRFM will be teaming up with The State Theatre Centre of WA for the sixth year to bring live, local music into the heart of Northbridge. The Courtyard Club has become the perfect place to start your weekend with friends while experiencing live radio and local music for free. This year, there will be even more live music with two bands playing each Friday as you wind down from a hard week at work.
It all kicks off on Friday November 1 as part of WAMFest, as RTRFM team up with WAM to present three amazing local artists. From 5pm catch the sounds of Grace Sanders, Your Girl Pho and Adrian Dzvuke before the team from Soulsides go live with an extended DJ set. The Courtyard Club is an all-ages event with licensed bar and food options, making it the perfect meeting place to celebrate the end of the working week.
On 8th of November RTRFM are teaming up with the Perth International Jazz Festival again for a free jazz concert under the stars. Alongside Saturday Jazz’s Warren Kimble you can see and hear the live sounds of the Tim Voutas Quartet.
Throughout the series you can enjoy the eclectic and magical sounds of Chelsea Cullen, trip hop magicians Trisk, energetic upstarts Tether, neo soul wunders Demon Days, the jangle pop of Thee Gold Blooms, rockabilly legends Catzilla, the ambient wonder of The Lana Rothie Quartet, and the legendary and otherworldly harmonies of Simone & Girlfunkle.
The series will close out with a celebration of five years of Cloud Waves, RTRFM’s wavy, underground hip hop show. The team will present their program alongside live sounds of Otiuh and WA’s Queen of hip hop, Hyclass (pictured). Then stick around for an end of year party to remember as DJ Asla, Sleepyhead, Nora Zion, Super Flog, Cee and Hyclass DJ into the night.
Each live set will be followed DJ’s from some of your favourite RTRFM presenters, featuring Will Bixler (Out to Lunch), James Allen (Giant Steps), DJ Salty (All City), Aiofe Daly (Rock Rattle ‘n’ Roll) and Libby Noble.
The Courtyard Club takes place from November 1 to December 20 at the State Theatre Centre Courtyard. For more information visit rtrfm.com.au.
