ARIA Hall of Famer and revered multi-platinum singer songwriter Kasey Chambers has unveiled an exciting suite of forthcoming new material including her upcoming book Just Don’t Be A Dickhead which inspired and informed her new album Backbone. Chambers said today, “I’ve just finished writing a book! I am beyond excited to be releasing it along with a brand-new album.”
“The book is a collection of stories and experiences from my life that I’ve learnt from over the years. Some from humorous, embarrassing moments, some from deep, heartfelt memories that taught me unlikely things to consistently draw on along the way.”
Published nationally on 1 October in hardback, ebook and audiobook Just Don’t Be a Dickhead …. And other profound things I’ve learnt is Kasey at her most heartfelt and honest. From her childhood in the Australian outback to the heights of her international success as a singer songwriter, Kasey has trusted her gut, stuck to her values and learned some hard truths, always while trying to live by the best advice she’s ever received: just don’t be a dickhead.
To enhance the readers’ experience, QR codes appear throughout the book to take them to the story’s correlating song. Readers can experience the book and the album the way Kasey wrote it, together. The audio-book also delivers a unique listener experience that includes Kasey reading and performing songs. Never one to shy away from home truths, introspective storytelling and unfiltered honesty, Chambers’ distinctive brand of writing weaves through both the musically-versatile Backbone and the thematically-versatile Just Don’t Be A Dickhead.
“I am so keen (and a little bit scared) to share these two real and honest representations of my creative soul, along with the inspiration I’ve found in unexpected places throughout my unique life.”
