Paul Dempsey

“...a collaboration that transcends the sum of its parts…this partnership isn’t just something to be heard—it’s something that demands to be experienced live”. — The AU ReviewTwo of Australia’s highly revered and successful artists of the last 30 years, Bernard Fanning and Paul Dempsey launched new project Fanning Dempsey National Park in 2024, capping off the year with a sold out headline tour, their debut release ‘Deluge’, and a spectacular performance on ABC NYE 2024 broadcast to millions of viewers worldwide.Their bold sound is exemplified by lead single ‘Disconnect’, blending ethereal synths, robotic pulses, thwacking drums, and stabbing sax. Second single and title track ‘The Deluge’ emerged from Fanning’s experiment with monochromatic rhythm and vocal melody, coloured by Dempsey’s wild spasms of treated guitar and synth.The two singer-songwriters’ solo works and monumental respective bands, Powderfinger and Something For Kate, account for nine number one albums, millions of sales, a staggering 38 songs in Triple J’s Hottest 100, scores of awards from ARIA to APRA and beyond, and reputations among the most skilled and thoughtful writers of their generation.ACKNOWLEDGEMENTWe acknowledge and respect the Palawa people as the traditional and ongoing owners of the skies, land, and water of Lutruwita.
