Red Whyte - Coastal Country

Having played nearly every weekend somewhere since 95, Red's venues have ranged from big stage events to Caf 's.. to bars and hotels, festivals and gatherings. A fetish of Red's is to set up live music venues for himself and of course other bands always follow. In Torquay (where he lives), he's set up at least 7 venues in the last 10 years. Some which have gone under and some that are still going today. Growlers Bar, Sandbah Caf, Bell's Beach Hotel and Airey's Food Haven Restaurant. Overseas, Red has played in Indonesia, New Zealand, India, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and England. King Island and Tasmania heaps but they're not really overseas! Red took part in the "Red Bull Surf Safari" Tour in 2000 in the UK. He solo supported Pico and his Band from Sydney on a 3 week tour. Sold many a C.D., actually back with more money that he went over with! An eye opener for the man himself, the Red Whyte Trio tour Byron Bay Shire every winter as their winter escape from the bleak cold Torquay. The band has a nucleus of 3 but not every gig sees the same personnel.
