The bizarre living situation of Kasey Chambers and her much younger partner Brandon Dodd after winning a Lifetime Achievement Award
Kasey Chambers has revealed her bizarre living situation with her frequent guitarist partner Brandon Dodd, 29, a week after winning a Lifetime Achievement Award.
Last Wednesday, the 48-year-old Not Pretty Enough hitmaker was “honored” by receiving the coveted award at the 2024 Australian Women In Music Awards.
And now the Australian musician is leaving to live in a camper for ‘the rest of the month’.
Taking to Instagram on Monday, Kasey revealed that she was looking forward to getting 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 now be back in my house on wheels for the rest of the month,” she captioned her post.
The singer will live in a camper van while she promotes her book across Australia. She will begin a series of lectures in Melbourne on Tuesday, October 8, before heading to Geelong next Wednesday.
She will then speak in Canberra on Friday, October 11, and a week later at Brunswick Heads in New South Wales, before heading to the Gold Coast for the Groundwater Country Music Festival and then on to Adelaide and Tailem Bend in South Australia.
‘Melbourne-Geelong-Canberra-Byron Bay-Gold Coast-Adelaide-Tailem Bend-HERE WE COME!!’ Kasey added this in her post.

Kasey and her partner Brandon, who is 19 years her junior, have known each other for several years. The guitarist has been performing with her for nine years.
Speaking about their relationship, the singer noted in her book that the 19-year age difference does not bother her.
“Despite our age difference leaning in the opposite direction, Brando was usually much more mature than me,” she wrote.
‘Much more traditional than I am. He had even decided not to have a smartphone anymore and had gone back to an old flip-top phone so he was no longer 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.”

“When we play together, you can probably even tell that that still feels like the foundation for our relationship,” she said The Australian.
‘We still enjoy playing together. Sitting around a campfire, he takes out the guitar, I cook and we sing together. That is the 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 Canadian Shane Nicholson.
Kasey is no stranger to living a dysfunctional lifestyle while on the road – in 2015, the Australian country music star enjoyed a cozy getaway in Byron Bay during Bluesfest, where she stayed in one apartment with several people, including her then-boyfriend Harry Hookey and her ex-boyfriend Cori Hopper.
‘Our dysfunctional family vacation to Bluesfest was a huge success… Thanks to my current boyfriend, my ex-boyfriend, his girlfriend, her girls, our boy and my little brother for the amazing trip… All in one apartment for 5 days and everyone lived!! (sic),” she wrote on Instagram at the time.
Cori and Kasey dated for four years before splitting in 2004.
After their breakup, Kasey found love with songwriter Shane Nicholson whom she eventually married in 2005.
She was previously in a relationship with Harry Hookey and found love with Brandon, and they have been going strong ever since.
