Kasey Chambers has revealed her bizarre living arrangements with her much younger partner and guitarist Brandon Dodd, 29, one week after winning a lifetime achievement award.
Last Wednesday, the 48-year-old Not Pretty Enough hitmaker was ‘honoured’ to receive the coveted award at Australian Women In Music Awards 2024.
And now, the Australian musician is taking off to live in a camper trailer for ‘the rest of the month’.
Taking to Instagram on Monday, Kasey revealed she was looking forward to being back on the road after a busy week promoting the release of her new album Backbone and memoir Just Don’t Be a D**khead.
‘Had a few flights last week for my hectic album/book release promo tour but I’m sooooooooo happy to be back in my home-on-wheels now for the rest of the month,’ she captioned her post.
The singer will be living in a camper while promoting her book across Australia, kicking off a string of talks on Tuesday, October 8 in Melbourne before heading to Geelong next Wednesday.
She will then speak in Canberra on Friday, October 11, then Brunswick Heads in New South Wales a week later, before heading to the Gold Coast for the Groundwater Country Music Festival then down to Adelaide and Tailem Bend in South Australia.
‘Melbourne-Geelong-Canberra-Byron Bay-Gold Coast-Adelaide-Tailem Bend-HERE WE COME!!’ Kasey added in her post.

Kasey and her partner Brandon, who is 19 years younger, have known each other for several years. The guitarist has performed alongside her for nine years.
Speaking of their relationship, the singer noted in her book that their 19-year age gap doesn’t bother her.
‘Despite our age gap leaning the other way, Brando was generally way more mature than me most of the time,’ she wrote.
‘Much more traditional than me. He had even decided not to own a smartphone anymore, and went back to an old flip-top phone so he wasn’t living his life through a screen.’
She also believes the lovebirds are a ‘match made in heaven’ and started dating ‘six or seven years ago’.

‘You can probably even tell when we play together that that really does still feel like the grounding to our relationship,’ she told The Australian.
‘We still love sitting around playing together. Sitting around a campfire, he’ll get the guitar out, I’ll be cooking, and we’ll sing together. That’s a perfect love for me.’
Kasey has three children, eldest son Talon, 22, who she shares with ex Cori Hopper, plus son Arlo, 17, and daughter Poet, 12, with ex-husband and fellow country musician Shane Nicholson.
Kasey is no stranger to living a dysfunctional lifestyle while on the road — in 2015, the Australian country music star enjoyed some cosy accommodation in Byron Bay during the Bluesfest, staying in one apartment with several people including her then-boyfriend Harry Hookey and her ex-boyfriend Cori Hopper.
‘Our dysfunctional family holiday to Bluesfest was a huge success… Thanks to my current boyfriend,my ex-boyfriend, his girlfriend, her girls, our boy & my little bro for the awesome trip… All staying in the one apartment for 5 days & everyone lived!! (sic),’ she wrote to Instagram at the time.
Cori and Kasey dated for four years, before splitting in 2004.
Following their split, Kasey found love with songwriter Shane Nicholson whom she eventually married in 2005.
She previously dated Harry Hookey finding love with Brandon, and they’ve been going strong ever since.
