One of Australia's favourite storytellers Josh Pyke is calling it a day, announcing one final tour at the end of the year before going on hiatus.
After making music and performing as an accomplished solo artist for over ten years, Josh has become a well-loved feature of the Australian music scene. He bids a fond farewell to fans with a regional run for his '10 Years Of Memories & Dust' tour in celebration of his 2007 debut album 'Memories & Dust'.

Josh will perform intimate shows without a band, playing the 'Memories & Dust' album in its entirety, as well as a second set packed with fan favourites. The massive tour kicks off in November at Byron Bay Brewery and will take Josh through to mid-December with his final show taking place at Theatre Royal in Castlemaine.
He first stole hearts with 2005 track 'Middle Of The Hill', which hit number 19 on the Triple J Hottest 100 and introduced his immersive lyrics and wistful guitar style to an audience hungry for original music that was honest and heartfelt.
Prior to his final departure, Josh heads out on the road for his 'Best Of Josh Pyke' tour from the end of July until the end of August meaning there's still lots of chances to see this genuinely talented singer-songwriter before the curtain closes indefinitely.
