Paul Kelly

Awarded the Order of Australia in 2017 and with an impressive 17 ARIA Awards and five APRA Awards, Paul Kelly stands as one of Australia’s most enduring songwriters. His ability to keep the creative spark alive for decades is unmatched. Kelly’s music captures the heart of his homeland—its emotional depth, landscapes, heroes, and challenges. From iconic tracks like “To Her Door,” “Leaps and Bounds,” and “How To Make Gravy,” to storytelling anthems such as “Bradman” and “Our Sunshine,” his songs have become an essential part of Australia’s cultural fabric.

From live recordings and compilations albums, Christmas standards and originals, variety has long been a key to Kelly’s recording career, which includes albums ranging from bluegrass and country (Smoke and Foggy Highway) to funk and soul (Professor Ratbaggy, The Merri Soul Sessions), alongside classic records Gossip, and Post.
