Paul Dempsey’s Shotgun Karaoke is back

Beloved Australian singer-songwriter Paul Dempsey has announced the follow-up to his acclaimed 2013 covers album, Shotgun Karaoke.

The new record, Shotgun Karaoke Vol. II, is set for release on Friday, October 24, and comes just ahead of a national tour, hitting His Majesty’s Theatre in Perth on Friday, October 31, before travelling across the country.

The new record from the Something for Kate frontman is set to carry the same spirit as the original—showcasing Dempsey’s extraordinary vocal range and his effortless ability to take over any song he chooses. Likewise, the live show will reduce these songs to their essential elements, performed live with nothing but Dempsey’s voice and acoustic guitar.

Shotgun Karaoke Vol. II is out Friday, October 24, 2025. Paul Dempsey hits His Majesty’s Theatre on Friday, October 31, 2025. Tickets are on sale now from artsculturetrust.wa
