Few bands are capable of aiming for as many stand out cultural moments as The Paper Kites. Even fewer are able to meaningfully connect every single time, but that’s the humble and surprising achievement of a band innovating and energizing with each release. Six albums deep, their music has been streamed over a billion times, with more than eight million monthly listeners on Spotify. Audiences globally have fallen in love with, and to, their blend of folk/rock/Americana, with the band’s artistry both on record and the stage developing a dedicated community of Paper Kites devotees.
With a decade of global touring under their hats, playing at iconic venues, The Paper Kites tug on the heartstrings like few other acts whenever they perform live, compelling audiences to feel every single note.
Their live reputation is only matched by the strength of their discography — one cannot thrive without the other. Perennial fan-favourite ‘Bloom’, off the Woodland EP, has been certified platinum in the Netherlands, Canada, Italy, Australia, and New Zealand, as well as in the US. The RIAA platinum certification saw them enter rarified air as one of the few Australian artists to receive such an honour. Closer to home, and At The Roadhouse was nominated for an ARIA Award in 2024 for Best Blues & Roots Album, while 2018’s On The Corner Where You Live was nominated for Best Adult Contemporary Album at the 2019 ARIA Awards.
