In a career spanning nearly 40 years, Paul Kelly has written over 350 songs - many of them quintessential Australian classics - as well as writing books, soundtracks (including Lantana, MIFF 01) and films. He has performed solo, led various critically acclaimed bands, collaborated with numerous other musicians and inspired generations. He has won multiple ARIA awards and been inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame. He is, quite simply, one of the greatest Australian musicians ever.

Highlighting the power of words and music, Paul Kelly: Stories Of Me is destined to become an instant hit.
