THURSDAY
JUNE 6, 2013 - Last October Australian singer songwriter PAUL KELLY
released his 19th studio album ‘Spring And Fall’. This July and
August he will be touring cities and towns around Australia performing the
record in its entirety, followed by a generous selection of older songs. This
selection will change from night to night and will include well-known songs and
a few surprises.
Paul recently said on
stage in the USA where he is currently touring to rave reviews: “‘Spring and
Fall’ is a song cycle which is just a fancy way of saying - if you listen to
the songs in order they tell a story. Each song links to the next and the whole
piece is a love story told from multiple points of view.”
The band touring with
Paul will be Dan Kelly on guitar and vocals; J. Walker, who co-produced and
played on the album; Zoe Hauptmann on bass (who recently performed on the Finn
and Kelly tour) and Bree Van Reyk (Holly Throsby, Seeker Lover Keeper) on
drums.
Tickets for all shows
on sale at 9am Friday June 14.
My Live Nation
members can be among the first to access tickets during the exclusive members’
pre-sale beginning 9am this Tuesday, June 11. Head to www.livenation.com.au to register.
Australian
Music Prize Nominee, Hip Hop MC and Producer, URTHBOY, will be opening
the show each night. Paul and Urthboy first worked together in 2008, when
Urthboy reworked Paul and Kev Carmody's song From Little Things Big Things
Grow to celebrate Kevin Rudd's apology to the Stolen Generations. More
recently they have collaborated on a cover of the Hunters and Collectors song True
Tears Of Joy.
Urthboy’s most
recent album ‘Smokey's Haunt’ has been celebrated for its storytelling with 4
and 5 star reviews across the board and his live show promises to be an
intriguing part of each night's entertainment.
What the international media are saying about ‘Spring
And Fall’,
Austin Chronicle USA): "A song cycle
reflecting the rise and fall of a romance, it's understated yet engaging,
melancholy yet revealing - something only a master like Kelly can
accomplish."
Boston Globe (USA): "Kelly is one of the
world's most expressive and economical songwriters, one of the world's best,
period."
Popdose (USA): "Paul Kelly is a national
treasure; it's just a shame he's not our nation's to claim."
The Mirror (UK): "…He never loses the
attention of the listener, which is a resounding confirmation of his sharply
intelligent, heart-tugging talent."
Mojo (UK): “…a singer-songwriter amongst the greatest of his - or any other
generation."
Americana (USA): "All good songwriters are not afraid to re-interpret their songs, change them around, play them differently. That's what makes a good song; it can be whatever they want it to be at that particular time and it still stands up on its own. Kelly is the undisputed master of this."
