One of Australia’s most impressive songwriters and performers, Nick Murphy will tour Australia once again in 2019, following the release of his long-awaited sophomore full length album, Run Fast Sleep Naked.
Run Fast Sleep Naked is the latest in a series of widely acclaimed releases from the singer/producer/multi-instrumentalist, including Built on Glass – a platinum-selling effort that won him seven ARIA Music Awards including Best Male Artist and Producer of the Year, and lead to him playing sold out shows on five continents; appearing at major international festivals including Coachella and Glastonbury; performing on television internationally including The Ellen DeGeneres Show and Jimmy Kimmel Live!; and seeing his music videos receive hundreds of millions of views, including over 180 million views alone for his MTV VMA-nominated video for ‘Gold’
To make Run Fast Sleep Naked, Murphy spent four years traveling the world solo with a microphone in his suitcase, recording his vocal tracks in whichever spaces and environments most inspired him. During that time, he immersed himself in intense self-examination, a process aided by his reading of Joseph Campbell’s theories of the artist’s shaman-like role in modern society. With its penetrating songwriting and kaleidoscopic palette, Run Fast Sleep Naked is a hypnotically candid document of that searching, an album equally informed by constant questioning and steadily arriving at fragments of truth.
For this tour, Nick Murphy has partnered with PLUS1 so that $1 from every ticket will go to organisations bringing dignity, equity, and access to communities who need it.
Don’t miss the chance to witness ‘Talk Is Cheap’ singer Nick Murphy performing in May.
Amazing artist, amazing place and drinks. Was late but so good.
Nick Murphy put on an incredible show. The Opening acts were also wonderful. However, the Fox Theater is really what inspired me to write a review, which I rarely do. I already loved the Fox, but my adult son had a medical issue on this particular occasion, and he was treated with the utmost consideration and respect by the Fox staff!!!
Nick Murphy was one of the best shows I've seen in a while. Pair that with the beautiful venue and tremendous sound system and you've got yourself a night to remember, I swear. This was my first time at Fox Theater and that place was everything my friends said it would be and more!
This was one of the worst mixed shows I have ever attended. It was so bass heavy that everything else was lost. I could almost not hear anything over the drum kit, particularly the kick drum. Between that and the lights being pointed into the audiences eyes, often strobing, I couldn't enjoy the show at all. Not sure if these were artist choices, but I would tell anyone thinking about going to see this show to stay away. That being said the opening act was great.
Played mostly new songs. Turned into a quasi-rock concert, instead of electronic. Energy and tone was low.
