The Eureka Tour will be Pete's first Australian concert run in over two years with ARIA winners The Audreys (trio) supporting him in acoustic mode in all capital city shows across the country. Also joining the tour in the opening spots will be exciting new comer Gin Wigmore for some shows with Matt Joe Gow on some Victorian dates.
In other tour news it has just been announced that buzzing U.S. singer/songwriter Brett Dennen will open the Gold Coast, Brisbane,Sydney and Wollongong shows. Dennen releases his breakthrough album "So Much More" this week in Australia. While the Dylan-esque Californian has never visited here he already has strong ties to this country through his U.S. touring with both Missy Higgins and John Butler over recent years. Australian fans may already be familiar with Brett's music given its prominent appearances in major TV shows such as 'Scrubs', 'Greys Anatomy' and 'House'.
Brett Dennen's addtion to the Eureka Tour is therefore just the latest in a long list of good news for Pete Murray this week. With an acclaimed new #1 album under his belt, a growing international story, and tickets selling like hotcakes here at home it's no wonder that he's feeling so positive these days!
