The centrepiece of our Aus Music Month celebrations this year will be Before Too Long triple js tribute to Paul Kelly.

In recent years triple j has organised tributes to You Am I, AC/DC and The Go-Betweens. Our upcoming tribute to Paul Kelly will follow on from those successful events and be the biggest one yet.
Over two nights at The Forum Theatre in Melbourne we have invited some of todays best artists to interpret the songs of Paul Kelly. The lineup will star Missy Higgins, John Butler, Paul Dempsey, Katy Steele, Bob Evans, Ozi Batla, Dan Kelly, Clare Bowditch, Jae Laffer, Adalita, Dan Sultan, Megan Washington plus members of Augie March as the backing band and Ashley Naylor from Even as Musical Director.

This year marks Paul Kellys 30th anniversary as a solo recording artist (his debut single "Recognition" was released in 1979). This is the perfect moment for triple j to acknowledge and highlight his enormous contribution to Australian music. Kelly has crafted a heartfelt catalogue of songs that speak to successive generations. Many of his songs have captured the essence of what it is to be Australian. His strength as a songwriter and storyteller has inspired a whole raft of musicians working today.

Richard Kingsmill (triple j Music Director): "There is a huge amount of respect and admiration within the Australian music industry - not to mention the public as well - to Paul and all that he's achieved. He has been so consistent over the years and has a huge body of work behind him. I can't think of many other artists that could match it for diversity and strength. And it's a body of work that continues to grow, he's not slowing down at all. The level of enthusiasm that the performers have shown towards this event was uniformly high. It made it clear to us that a tribute to the man was long overdue. He is one of our songwriting greats and worthy of celebrating."

Missy Higgins I love They Thought I Was Asleep. All Pauls stories take you on a ride somewhere that feels, somehow, like one of your own memories.

Paul Dempsey The first time I heard Dumb Things, it completely blew me away. So much energy and melody. It just picks you up and tosses you around.

Bob Evans The opening strains of From St Kilda to Kings Cross began to play. It was beautiful so melancholy and full of nostalgia for places that I had just begun to travel to myself.
