Eric Grothe & Gurus

If you enjoy a mix of classic rock and popular hits, Eric Grothe & Gurus offer a lively night of music that spans from the 70s and 80s to today’s charts. Led by rugby league legend Eric Grothe on guitar and vocals, the band brings a genuine passion to their performances. Since 2006, they’ve been a staple in Australian live music, occasionally joined by well-known guest artists. You’ll find the setting at the Airlie Beach Hotel’s Pub on the Esplanade a relaxed spot to enjoy the show with a drink in hand. The band’s setlist moves through familiar tunes that invite you to sing along or tap your feet, making it easy to settle into the evening. Whether you’re a local or just passing through, the combination of good music and a tropical backdrop creates a casual, enjoyable experience. It’s the kind of event where you can appreciate the music on your own or share the moment with friends. The steady rhythm and recognizable songs keep the energy flowing without feeling overwhelming.
