Pete Murray
is one of Australia’s most loved singer songwriters. The quiet achiever of Australian music is committed to constantly growing and evolving as an artist and gets a thrill from offering fans new and exciting material with each release.
Pete has released 7 albums over an impressive career and is one of only a few Australian artists with over 1 million album sales under his belt.
The quiet achiever of Australian music, Pete Murray released his anticipated new EP, The Night, in March 2021. After impressing with ‘Found My Place’, his driving song about offering wisdom to your kids, and backing it up with the tenderness and beauty of the introspective ‘If We Never Dance Again’, Pete had the music industry buzzing.
In April 2022 Pete releases new EP Before I Go, a stunning follow-up to The Night. Stand out single ‘You Give Me Something’ was written by Pete Murray and with DNA producers David Musumeci and Anthony Egizii. From a song writing session that flowed well from start to finish, Pete spent the next year or so experimenting in his own home studio with strings, beats and guitar parts to lift the dynamics, with some help from his good friends Garrett Kato (producer) and Dustin McLean
“To promote your new music, you need to be able to tour and play live, so I was totally ready to get out and play this record live but Covid killed that idea,” Pete said. “Thank goodness live music is starting up again for this EP Before I Go. At least I can play these songs live now! Honestly, I can’t tell you how good it is to be back playing live music. These special, intimate shows in November to promote both EP’s The Night and Before I Go. Covid hasn’t allowed me to tour these songs yet so I’m very pumped about it.”
Ash Grunwald
Following his top-10 collaboration with Josh Teskey, 2020’s Push The Blues Away, Ash Grunwald delivers his most personal album yet with Shout Into The Noise.
Working with Grammy-nominated songwriter and producer Lachlan Bostock from Mansionair, Ash has crafted the finest album of his career.
Ash Grunwald is now one of Australia’s most successful blues musicians ever, with six top 50 albums and two APRA Awards.
In addition, he’s been nominated for five ARIA Awards and four AIR Awards, and he was named Best International Act at the LA Music Critic Awards in 2014. In 2019, Ash published his first book, Surf by Day, Jam by Night, which combined his two passions – music and surfing.
