Giant Dwarf's New Event Pairs Prominent Australians with Musicians Who Moved Them

Think about an album or song that helped you in hard times — soothed you through a break-up, got you through you first year of uni, soundtracked your first love. Imagine if you could have a chat to the musician that made that music. That's where Giant Dwarf comes in.

Chippendale's beloved performance venue is starting a new acoustic music series by the name of My Tunes. Once a month, a prominent Australian will pick an Australian artist whose music meant something to them, and invite said artist for a live mini-set and chat onstage. To kickstart the series in October, triple j’s Zan Rowe has invited Something for Kate’s Paul Dempsey on Wednesday, October 21.

Audiences will get the chance to hear frontman and chief songwriter for Something For Kate play a few of his songs live in an intimate context. There's a lot to choose from, Dempsey has released six platinum and gold albums. In between tunes, he and triple j Mornings presenter and producer Rowe will discuss Dempsey’s own songs in an informal conversation. Dempsey will delve into his influences, experiences and everything between his first ever song to his upcoming second solo LP, and Rowe will get the chance to talk about how and why his music has affected her.

The Q&A will be interlaced with memories shared by listeners and audience members, so if Dempsey's music is your thing too, get along and meet the guy.

My Tunes kicks off at Giant Dwarf on Wednesday, October 21. Nab your tix to the first incarnation of My Tunes here.
