The 2025 release of Paul Dempsey’s ‘Shotgun Karaoke Vol. II’ (EMI) album saw the Something For Kate frontman revel in the stripped-back and spontaneous approach that brought the party vibes to the subsequent capital city tour. So much so, that he’s doing it again and bringing those sing-along covers to stages across regional Australia on the Shotgun Karaoke Vol. II Regional Tour from May to August.

Expect the setlist to evolve as the night rolls on with live favourites often including Don Henley's nostalgic "Boys Of Summer" alongside Tanita Tikaram's "Twist In My Sobriety", Grant Lee Buffalo’s Mockingbirds“”, Jeff Buckley’s “The Last Goodbye”, David Bowie’s “Life on Mars?” and Aussie band Max Q’s 1989 hit “Way of the World” and many more.
