Paul Kelly

Paul Kelly has recorded nineteen studio albums as well as several film soundtracks (Lantana and the Cannes 2006 highlight, Jindabyne) and two live albums, in an influential career spanning more than thirty years. He was inducted into the ARIA (Australian Record Industry Association) Hall of Fame in 1997.

Songs From The South, a selection of his popular songs first assembled in 1997 and expanded to a double album in 2008, contains many of his songs now lodged deep in the Australian psyche.

He continues to cross musical boundaries. The Triple J tribute album Before Too Long, released in 2010, featuring John Butler, Missy Higgins, Megan Washington, Paul Dempsey, Ozi Batla and many others is evidence of his influence on generations of musicians.

His first work of prose, a self described ‘mongrel memoir’, was published in 2010 with Penguin and is accompanied by a CD box set of live recordings and an audio book with readings from Paul and some of Australia’s finest actors Cate Blanchett, Russell Crowe, Hugh Jackman, Judy Davis and Ben Mendelsohn.

The book, the audio book and the A-Z recordings now make up a unique app. An app which in Paul’s words is “the closest thing to how I imagined the book to be – something that sings and talks and plays.”

In late 2012, PAUL KELLY – STORIES OF ME, a feature-length documentary premiered in Melbourne. During October, it screened in a series of exclusive one night only events around the country with an appearance by Paul Kelly and the film’s AFI Award-winning director and producer, Ian Darling, of Shark Island Productions.

Distributed by Madman Films, PAUL KELLY – STORIES OF ME is an intimate portrait of the very private man behind the music. For the first time on film, Kelly speaks candidly about the people who have helped shape his life and music. Featuring rare archival footage, PAUL KELLY – STORIES OF ME also unveils newly recorded live performances, as well as interviews with family members, former and current band members, music contemporaries and music media. It is now available to purchase on DVD.

Paul Kelly’s latest album ‘Spring and Fall’ was released in October 2012.
