Hi Everyone, I’m very happy to be involved in

Hi Everyone,

I’m very happy to be involved in the WALK FOR YES on Sunday 17th of September in Brisbane. I’m going to be joined by fellow Queenslanders @busbymarou to play a few tunes at the end of the walk.

I know that there are a lot of opinions about the validity of The Voice. I am in no doubt that Yes is the vote I will be submitting.

YES to an acknowledgement that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people inhabited our country for millennia before the arrival of the British and the subsequent Australian nation.  It is an indisputable fact.

Also, YES to an advisory body that will help make the decision making process that directly impacts the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, more effective.  This is a very rare opportunity for Australians to make a contribution to improving the circumstances that many of our First Nations communities are expected to endure. The statistics that detail the relative disadvantage in Health, Education, Employment, Housing and Justice, speak for themselves.

If you are yet to make up your mind about how you will vote in the upcoming poll please make the effort to read the (one page) Uluru Statement From The Heart ( https://ulurustatement.org/the-statement/view-the-statement/ ), which is a collective statement from representatives of First Nations communities from all over the country. It was  made after extensive, years long consultation amongst those groups.  It is an appeal to walk together with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people into a more just future for the whole country.

I am disabling comments from this post because I don’t want it to become a forum for warm and fuzzy self congratulation or (more likely) abuse and toxic discussion.  God knows there are enough of them on social media already.  I don’t think it is necessary for my opinion to be validated or negated. Make your VOICE heard on October 14. See you at the walk on Sunday.

Love

Last week we had a ball celebrating the 20 Year An

Last week we had a ball celebrating the 20 Year Anniversary of the release of Vulture St. Today we are celebrating THIS! Pretty amazing for it to happen 20 years on. As far as I am told, it’s the first time in Australian music that a record has gone to the Toppermost of the Poppermost two decades after it’s initial release. And it’s all because of YOU. Yes, YOU Dear Reader. Thankyou so much for continuing to get behind @powderfinger_bandofficial Thanks also to all of the suits at @umusicau and @secretsounds for always telling everyone how good we were. We’re very humbled by the response. If you are a vinyl lover then git yaself a look at the new emerald edition. It’s a RIPPER. #vulturestreet #startlookingforproperty

We’re all very excited about joining the fantastic lineup at @harvestrockfest 2023. It looks like it will be our final show for a while so come on down to the City of Churches, get yourself a Pie Floater, wash it down with some Barossa Shiraz, and we’ll all have a bit of a shindig together. Yahoooo!

20 years today. Happy Anniversary rockers. There’s some release news coming so stay tuned.

Hello there. Tomorrow, June 20 is World Refugee Da

Hello there. Tomorrow, June 20 is World Refugee Day and the Asylum Seekers Resource Centre are hosting a telethon to help raise $1.2 million. God knows there has been so much strife, violence and displacement of people on these last few crazy years so there are many people that need our help. Please link through from the bio to make a donation. Thanks love BF xx

Here’s a photo dump from the recently completed @redhotsummertour What a blast that 20 week marathon was. Special thanks to all of our crew Toph, Casey, Hugh, Fraser, Ash, Nathan, Rach J, Kait, Rach D and Jason. Of course none of it is possible without my fabulous (as yet unnamed) band Matt, Pat, Dec and Ian. Also, there’s some fabulous merch left (swipe to the end) in the online store so get yourself in there and grab some stylin’ threads. Link in bio. 📸@axisproductions Love BF xx

The @redhotsummertour wrapped up in Cairns on the weekend. Here’s some shots from the last few weeks. We’ve had a total blast at these shows and YOU have been incredible. We completed a lap of this bloody massive, stunning country and felt so grateful to be so warmly received wherever we went. Mil Gracias. Thankyou to one and all in the crews, bands, promoters, merch , security and catering. We have a final show @legendsonthelawn in Mackay with the same line up on Saturday. This will be our last show for a while. Love BF x x. 📸 @nathan_kelly_photographer

Here’s a little vid put together by filmmaker @rocknroll_phil . This is the windy Jacob’s Well version of Hope & Validation which has been the opening track to our show on this @redhotsummertour . Phil Laverty is one of the camera operators and has been experimenting with some new editing techniques. I think it’s amazing. Top job. Hope you enjoy it. See you all @sandstonepoint next weekend as we head into the final month of this incredible run of shows. If you have a chance, put it onto some big speakers to hear the great mix from our FOH class clown @hughstonwebb

Big night on the GC last night. Such a great audience that hung in through the rain. A bunch of great shots here from my old mate @dsmiddleton See you at Jacob’s Well tonight folks.

T-ba….the country cosmopolitan capital of the Darling Downs. What kind of Mango Weiss Bar fueled madness was that? Obviously a few @bozscaggsmusic fans in the house. This Queensland leg has already taken the @redhotsummertour up a notch. It was LOUD. Can’t wait to hit the Glitter Strip next Saturday for a sold out Gold Coast show Saturday and Jacob’s Well Sunday where you can witness these moody choir hot boys (page 2) in action. 📸@ianstergram @declankellymusic

Alburians/Wodonganoids ….. that was tremendous. Glorious location, great weather, amazing audience. Port Macquarie we are ‘resurrecting’ (see what I did there) the cancelled show from Feb, this coming Easter Saturday. No excuses for not coming as you have at least two days off afterwards. See you there. Love BF X X. 📸 Karla

Hey Alburanian/Wodongans ……..we’re doing this, at your place, tomorrow. Come along and check out the @redhotsummertour at Gateway Lakes.

Last night in the Hunter Valley had it all. The beautiful surrounds of the vineyard @rocheestate , a monster crowd of well lubricated patrons, and the most 90’s thing ever- a circle pit, and the inevitably following punch up. Yep, a biff, at a winery. How embarrassing. Anyway, we ploughed on and had a fabulous show. Ready to do it all again Bella Vista Farm tonight.

Ok Perth. About Last Night………….
You win. Five seconds into this gig @sandalford_wines we knew the energy of the audience was at another level. Anyone that was there knows what I am talking about. It’s such a privilege to still be able to come here and be received with such love and affection. It’s always been that way in WA, ever since the first matinee show with @powderfinger_bandofficial at The Planet Niteclub in ‘96. But last night was incredible. Thankyou so much. It’s a show we’ll never forget. Back to East next week. We’ve just tipped over the halfway mark for this tour, but the way it’s going, I never want it to end. Love BF X X

VÍCTORIOUS HARBOUR

We don’t know what you Kaurna/Fleurieu Peninsula people were on yesterday but we want some. That show and location was OUTRAGEOUS. Sunsets over the beaches alright! Especially for our ‘tightarsed’ friends on the banks outside the gates. Hats off to the Kerry Hemsley mullet warrior wearing vintage ‘Rugba Leeg’ jersey in an AFL heartland. Heading for Boandik Country at Mount Gambier today for another SOLD OUT show at the The Old Gaol. Cannot wait. 🎥@declankellymusic
