New album and book release for Kasey Chambers

ARIA Hall of Famer and multi-platinum singer songwriter Kasey Chambers has released a new album, Backbone.

It is her first album of new material in six years along with new single and video, A Love Like Springsteen. 

Chambers, who calls the Central Coast home, will undertake a national tour in 2025 to perform songs from the new album which will include a performance at The Art House on March 19.

Chambers said she and her partner wrote A Love Like Springsteen together.

“It’s one of those songs that literally fell out,” Chambers said.

“We’ve been Springsteen fans for a long time, and we’ve always thought of Bruce Springsteen as the most romantic songwriter in the world.

“And I think the reason is when he writes about love in his songs, he writes about it in a real way.

“Love turns to heartache, and then sometimes back to love.

“So, when we sat down to write this song, it just fell out as this combination of what we imagined real love actually should look like.

“Good and bad, this album is who I am.

“I worked with my favourite musicians, and I sang about every beautiful, joyous, embarrassing and tough thing I’ve gone through.

“Everything that’s gone into making me this person.

“Even before anyone has heard this album or read the book, I feel like I’ve achieved something special.”

Chambers’ busy schedule has also included the release of her book Just Don’t Be A Dickhead, the material informing and inspiring the album Backbone. 

She was also recently honoured at the Australian Women in Music Awards with a Lifetime Achievement Award.
