Spring is here. Hoorah! Hoorah, spring is here. And now that songman Pete Murray’s fingers have thawed out, he is able to strip off a few layers and head out on the road for his bumper 30+ date ‘Yours Acoustically’ tour. Ol’ Pete goes pretty damn well with a guitar in his hand and will use the tour to deliver songs in a solo unplugged format, performing a healthy selection of his much-loved favourites as well as the odd teaser from his forthcoming new album, due for release in 2016. More than a few guitar string changes ago, Murray released his debut album, Feeler. Released in 2003, the album hit the #1 spot on the Australian charts and has since achieved 6x platinum sales. In 2011, he released his fourth album, Blue Sky Blue. Murray: “This is going to be a really fun tour and I’m looking forward to it … I’ve done quite a few solo acoustic tours internationally over the years but never in Australia so this will be a first – for me this feels like I’m giving back to the fans that have supported me over the years.” The Capital, Bendigo – October 14; Regent Theatre, Ballarat – October 15; and Torquay Hotel, Torquay – October 17.
