Pete Murray’s music has been the soundtrack for many of the big moments in our lives. The singer, songwriter and guitarist is one of only a few of our artists with over a million album sales, and is often described as the quiet achiever of Australian music.
In this episode Jess digs deep to find out more about the man behind the guitar who was once told he was ‘too old’ for a career in music. Pete explains why he thought his biggest album was destined to fail, and why a text message from Powdefinger turned that all around. Pete also opens up about the heartbreaking moment he lost his dad and how the depression that followed has impacted his life as a dad now.
Pete has released a 'Best Of' collection of his most popular singles and is hitting the road to celebrate, details here
