Event / Artist Information

Paul Kelly is an Australian rock music singer-songwriter and guitarist. He has performed solo, and has led numerous groups, including the Dots, the Coloured Girls, and the Messengers. He has worked with other artists and groups, including associated projects Professor Ratbaggy and Stardust Five

With each song Paul Kelly writes, he feels like he’s starting anew. Every one a puzzle to be solved, a mystery that can be never quite explained. That adventurous spirit makes his 29th studio album, Fever Burning Still, as rich and rewarding a listening experience as any record he has made since releasing his first in 1981. Few songwriters find ways to keep that creative fever burning for as long and as brightly as Kelly.

The country of his birth, its emotional interior and geographical landscape, its heroes and villains, our hopes and failings, have been a constant in Kelly’s long list of Australian-set songs. From St Kilda to King’s Cross, Adelaide, Leaps and Bounds, Incident on South Dowling, Maralinga (Rainy Land), Randwick Bells, Sydney from a 747. From The bus ride through the cane in To Her Door to the childhood memory of Deeper Water. He has written about the country’s greatest cricketer, Bradman, and its most infamous bushranger, Ned Kelly, in Our Sunshine.
