Peter Kenneth Murray, otherwise simply known as Pete Murray is one of the final Friday Flash(back)'s for 2025!
Murray has had three albums reach number 1 on the Australian (ARIA) charts. Murray has received 17 ARIA nominations throughout his career so far.
He has sold over 1.2 million albums in Australia.
In early 2003, Murray signed a contract with Sony BMG and he entered the studio with producer Paul McKercher and his band (consisting of Ben McCarthy on bass guitar and keyboards, Christian Sargeant on drums, Paul Tyrell on guitar and Col McIntyre on reeds & flute) to make the Feeler album.
Feeler was released on 21 July 2003 with the title track as the first single.
Triple J radio started playing the track with the Nova FM and Triple M networks picking it up. With this support, Feeler entered the ARIA top 50 album charts in 2003. His reputation was building fast and he started selling out shows in smaller venues.
So Beautiful was released in January 2004, reaching the top ten. This spurred sales of the album driving it to number one on the Australian album charts in late March 2004 and six times platinum status. By 2008, the album had sold half-a-million copies.
Last Friday Murray released his seventh record, Longing. This is his first record since 2017's Camacho. Tomorrow return to stream the record, in the meantime, some old and new tunes are featured below.
