His most recent Greatest Hits Tour sold over 13K tickets across Australia, with performances at iconic venues such as The Forum in Melbourne, Enmore Theatre in Sydney, and the Astor Theatre in Perth.

Renowned for his emotive and compelling songwriting, Pete‘s songs like “Better Days,” “Feeler,” “Opportunity,” and “So Beautiful” have become the soundtrack to many people’s lives. With exciting new music currently in the works, Pete Murray continues to cement his place as one of the country’s most iconic artists.

While successfully straddling the line between commercial success and managing to keep their Alternative Music roots secure, over their career, Eskimo Joe have racked up a long list of impressive accomplishments. With 6 studio albums under their belts and sales in excess of 750,000, in Australia alone, the band has seen 3 of those albums debut at number 1 on the ARIA charts, with juggernaut ‘Black Fingernails, Red Wine’ shining for a monster 62 weeks in the ARIA Chart Top 50 and “Foreign Land”, from their fourth album ‘Inshalla’, bringing home 2 APRA Awards, for Most Played Rock Song on Australian radio and Best Rock Song of 2010.

Eskimo Joe have enjoyed 35 ARIA nominations in their career thus far – a number only surpassed by Silverchair, Powderfinger, Kylie Minogue and John Farnham. They have brought home 3 International Song-writing Awards, 11 WAMi Awards and 8 ARIAs and 11 of their compositions have featured in Triple J’s Hottest 100 countdown, with ‘Black Fingernails, Red Wine’ landing 2nd place. The stage, however, is where Eskimo Joe shine, and they continue to captivate their large and devout fan base by pursuing new horizons and embarking on new challenges.
