After a year long sabbatical, Josh Pyke will be back on the road in September to celebrate the release of his eagerly awaited third album, Only Sparrows.

With tickets flying out the door in days for his intimate, solo ‘Fans First’ shows, the Only Sparrows tour will give those who missed out on tickets the chance to hear the new material performed in full band mode for the first time.

Featuring the first single ‘No One Wants A Lover’, Only Sparrows will be released on August 19, following on from his Gold selling ARIA award winning albums Memories & Dust (2007) and Chimney’s Afire (2008).

Written on the road and in New York City, Only Sparrows saw Wayne Connolly helming the desk, giving Josh the freedom to take a step back so he could take a step forward, so to speak, and create a cohesive album that pushed him in all the right ways.
