FANNING DEMPSEY NATIONAL PARK ANNOUNCE THE DELUGE 2025 REGIONAL
TOUR
“...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 Review
Bernard Fanning and Paul Dempsey are two of the most revered and
successful Australian artists of the last 30 years.
The esteemed pair launched new project Fanning Dempsey National
Park releasing their highly acclaimed debut album ‘The Deluge’
and capped off 2024 with a sold out headline tour and a spectacular
performance on ABC NYE 2024
[https://iview.abc.net.au/video/RV2407H003S00] broadcast to millions
of viewers worldwide.
Fanning Dempsey National Park marks new terrain for both artists,
“We agreed straight away there's no point doing something together
if it's going to be what people think it's going to be,” says Paul.
“It’s not the two of us with acoustic guitars singing campfire
songs.”
They’ve crafted a bold sound, exemplified by lead single
‘Disconnect’ combining 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.
With this sonic guiding principle where synthesisers are edging out
guitars, their newly announced The Deluge 2025 Regional Tour will take
these lauded singer-songwriters into new musical terrain as they
perform across the country from March - May.
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.
