Paul Kelly - Seventy

Seventy is Paul Kelly’s freshest batch of musical tales, capturing the timeless joy of gathering ’round to “keep the darkness away.” Kicking off and winding down with the simple ask, “Tell us a story...,” the songs paint vivid scenes from cozy friendships to quiet wonders. At 70, Kelly reflects while staying “in the middle of it,” flaunting his songwriting prowess. Highlights include “Rita Wrote A Letter,” a cheeky nod to “How to Make Gravy” after nearly three decades, and a dazzling band take on W.B. Yeats’ “Sailing to Byzantium.” With his trusty band, Seventy reminds us why stories matter most when times get uncertain—a charming yarn from Australia’s storytelling legend.
