On the eve of releasing his debut solo album - if you don't count his 1998 release under the Scared of Horses moniker - Paul Dempsey has announced a bunch of tour dates as well as naming his touring band.
The Something For Kate frontman is setting off around the country in September with a new bunch of musos to go with his new record. Dempsey will be backed by Shannon Vanderwert and Pat Bourke from Dallas Crane on drums and bass respectively, as well as multi-instrumentalist John Hedigan (The Deset Shore, Brolga Boys) on guitar and keys. While the tour will be the official debut for the band, there's a bunch more stuff happening before these dates via Dempsey's
new website, as well as a spot at next week's Splendour in the Grass.
Everything is True is out August 14th.
