Kevin Morby announces new Australian tour dates following the release of his eighth studio album, Little Wide Open, out now via Dead Oceans. 

Featuring singles ‘Javelin’, which was recently performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live, ‘Die Young’ ‘Bandlands’, and the final single,‘100,000’, Little Wide Open is Kevin's most personal and vulnerable album to date. “Despite its title, this album is, in fact, very wide open,” Kevin shares.“Little Wide Open is set to a backdrop of tangled highways, towns with populations less than 100,000, roadside crosses, a rock and roll romance, coupling butterflies, being an American entertainer, Econoline vans and more,” As Pitchfork encapsulates, the album is a window into the Midwest, "the rolling plains, the tornado sirens, the Biblically big sky.

As award-winning novelist Rachel Kushner writes in her essay about Little Wide Open entitled “Field Guide to the North American Troubadour,” “for him, the LWO is the big sky, the small lives—it’s his origins in the Midwest and every duty and modesty and familiarity and isolation: the land, the people, and the parts of that inside him.”

Morby has a devoted fan base in Australia, having toured multiple times, with the last being in 2023. He has appeared at festivals including Brunswick Music Festival, Panama, NineLive and WandererFestival, alongside sold-out headline shows across capital cities. His work has received consistent airplay on Double J and national community radio in Australia, as well as praise from Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, TheFader, Vulture, The New York Times, The Guardian, and more.
