Pete Murray Kicks off 'The Byron Sessions' National tour with sell out shows

With just under a week to go until Pete Murray kicks off his biggest national tour to date in support of his brand spanking new album ‘Blue Sky Blue – The Byron Sessions’ several of the shows on the tour have already sold out!

Of the 44 date tour, that takes Pete to most capital cities and regional areas around the country, shows in Traralgon, Bairnsdale Fremantle and Dee Why have already sold out with other shows soon to following suite.

One of Australia’s most loved singer-songwriters, Pete Murray has revisited the brilliant album Blue Sky Blue on his latest project, “The Byron Sessions” just released Feb 1^stand going in at Number 1 in the AIRIT Charts this week.

Blue Sky Blue “The Byron Sessions” features songs from an album that Pete loves, infused with the flavour and friendships from his adopted hometown of Byron Bay. Musicians who we have all come to love lend their talents to Pete’s songs, creating a mesmerising sound that is familiar yet refreshing.

Byron locals Ash Grunwald and Scott Owen (The Living End) lend slide guitar and bass respectively to make Hurricane Coming unmistakably coastal. Katie Noonan’s vocals onHold It All For Love are beautifully haunting and new kid on the block Fantine takes Pete into uncharted territory on lead track Blue Sky Blue with a rap written by indigenous roots queen Natalie Pa’apa’a (Blue King Brown). Another Byron local Bernard Fanning takes time out of his busy recording schedule to sing backing vocals on Led. Busby Marou contribute vocal harmonies and guitar on Let You Go and the track Free features Darren Middleton (Powderfinger) playing his recognisable guitar licks on H.O.L.L.A.N.D.

For the first time since his independent artist days, Pete Murray will be touring the country for some up-close-and-personal shows, partly solo and partly stripped back acoustic with some of his muso mates.

Check out Pete Murray in stripped back acoustic mode at the venues below and grab a copy of Blue Sky Blue “The Byron Sessions” through Sony Music.
