Shotgun Karaoke Vol. II

After more than a decade of fan requests, Paul Dempsey is finally delivering the sequel that listeners have been waiting for. Shotgun Karaoke Vol. Il sees the Something For Kate frontman return to the stripped-back, spontaneous approach that made the original 2013 LP such a compelling listen - raw, intimate, and refreshingly imperfect in all the right ways.

The concept remains beautifully simple and brilliantly ridiculous: beloved songs reduced to their essential elements, performed live with nothing but Dempsey's voice and acoustic guitar. No overdubs, no fixes, no polish - just honest, in-the-moment performance.

For an artist who has spent decades crafting sophisticated songwriting with Something For Kate and his solo work, Shotgun Karaoke Vol. Il represents something refreshingly different - a chance to inhabit other people's songs, to learn from them, and perhaps most importantly, to simply have fun with without worrying about artistic legacy. critical analysis, or whether anyone will judge him for earnestly belting out 80s power.
