Pete Murray

With endless charm and stirring emotion, the brand new single I Am Fire released today from revered Australian singer-songwriter Pete Murray offers a poised yet powerful ode to everyday heroes, with the single also accompanied by the announcement of a mammoth 55-date run that will see Pete expansively tour the country in solo acoustic mode for the first time ever, commencing this May, supported nationally by Rachael Fahim and Brett Wood.
 
Pete’s largest tour ever and with most shows being all ages, the extensive solo acoustic tour will see him visit a stack of markets he’s never been to, rolling through every pocket of Australia in 2025, with a whopping 55 shows lined up across regional Australia as well as capital cities from May through to early September. Launching on Friday May 9 in Darwin, Pete will journey across the Northern Territory, Victoria, Tasmania, Queensland, Victoria, New South Wales, the ACT and Western Australia for these special intimate shows, with the mammoth run ultimately concluding on Sunday September 7 in the Blue Mountains.
 
Tickets for the solo acoustic tour go onsale to the general public on Friday 21 March at 10am local time from www.petemurray.com.  Fans can register for presale tickets now from www.petemurray.com, with presale kicking off on Tuesday 18 March from 10am local time.
 
Offering fans a second taste of a brand new body of work from Pete Murray, following on from his 2024 single Wouldn’t It Be Good, I Am Fire finds Pete channelling powerful emotives and tranquil arrangements with a nod to one of his favourite guitar sounds, as he elaborates, “I just bought a Gibson 1971 Classical guitar before I recorded I Am Fire and I knew this guitar had to be on this song. I love the classical guitar sound Rodriguez uses on his recordings, and it’s that same 60s/70s classical guitar sound that I was going for. The guitar created a real mood on the song that works well with the lyrics.”
