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 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. New 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.
