Paul Kelly

Playing blues, rock and even throwing in an Afropop beat for good measure, Paul Kelly of Australia is a discovery critics are raving about. A review in the Washington Post praised his "rare instinct for the kind of quirky details that separate everyday life from bad fiction. He has sewn his narratives about bitter ex-lovers and bewildered children into catchy folk-rock guitar figures."

Originally from Adelaide and later Melbourne, Kelly is well-established in his own country as a singer-songwriter, record producer and contributor to film soundtracks.
