Pete Murray Locks In Aussie Tour Dates In Support Of New Album

In support of his forthcoming sixth studio album, Camacho, Pete Murray has confirmed he will embark on a mammoth 33-date tour of Australia this year. 

The run will see the revered Byron Bay songwriter perform from July through to September in Lismore, Noosaville, Brisbane, Rockhampton, Ipswich, Gold Coast, Redland Bay, Coffs Harbour, Newcastle, Bateau Bay, Sydney, Port Lincoln, Adelaide, Warrnambool, Shepparton, Chelsea Heights, Hobart, Launceston, Bateman's Bay, Wollongong, Canberra, Albury, Bendigo, Ballarat, Melbourne, Geelong, Geraldton, Fremantle, Dunsborough, Toowoomba, Townsville, Cairns and Darwin.

Murray has also dropped brand new single Take Me Down to coincide with the tour news.

"Take me down is about a beautiful relationship with an unknown future," Murray said.

"It's about not knowing how much time is left and being in the moment. It's emotive, moody, sexual and vulnerable."

Meanwhile, Murray has teamed up with a slew of some of the country's finest names for Camacho, including Trials (AB Original), producer Tony Buchen (Montaigne, The Preatures), One Above aka Andrew Burford (Hilltop Hoods, Allday) and Jon Hume (Matt Corby).

"The thing I wanted to do different with this album was to take my time and get it right," Murray said of the record.

"So many times in the past I have jumped into a studio for four-six weeks and recorded an album. Once the recording time is over, so is the album."

Touching on the upcoming tour, the singer added, "I'll be taking the full band on the road and heading to a stack of places I haven’t been to in a while.

"I'm also really excited about playing the new music for the first time and cannot wait to get out there and see the crowd's reaction."
