One of Australia’s most enduring and endearing singer-songwriters, Pete Murray has long held a special place in the hearts of music lovers. A multi-platinum-selling artist, Murray has sold over 1.2 million albums, released three ARIA chart-topping records, and earned 17 ARIA Award nominations alongside a string of other accolades.
Emerging with his debut full-length The Game (2001), Murray’s breakout sophomore album Feeler (2003) cemented his status as one of Australia’s all-time greats. Timeless tracks like Better Days, Feeler, Opportunity, and So Beautiful remain staples of Australian music, with his warm blend of acoustic, rock, and folk elements continuing to resonate with audiences two decades on.
Now an independent artist, Murray enters an exciting new chapter with his latest album Longing (out 10 Oct). A deeply personal body of work, Longing reflects the people, places, and moments that have shaped him, offering songs that invite reflection, connection, and escape. Early singles Wouldn’t It Be Good and I Am Fire received strong national support from Triple M, The Project, Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music, reaffirming his place as one of Australia’s most beloved voices.
Fresh off his most ambitious tour to date (a massive 60-show run across Australia and New Zealand) Murray is now set to embark on his ‘Longing Summer Tour’ in support of the new album across Dec-Jan-Feb, bringing Longing to life on stages up and down the east-coast.
With a brand-new album, a landmark run of shows, and songs that speak directly to the heart, Pete Murray continues to shape the soundtrack of Australian life.
