Live at the Sydney Opera House (Josh Pyke album)

It was released in July 2016 and peaked at number 27 on the ARIA Charts.

The whole experience was amazingly rewarding and a huge learning curve for me.

I love the fact that these songs have been given a new lease on life in this new form, and I can't wait to share them with you!

[3] Tim Kroenert from The Music said "Collaborations between popular artists and orchestras often feel ego-driven, yet the songs performed here, selected mostly from Pyke's first four albums (the shows predated 2015's But for All These Shrinking Hearts), at least conspire to remind us what a smart songwriter he is.

His voice is in great shape too, and the arrangements bring genuine freshness: tribal percussion and solo trumpet make an oddity of 'Still Some Big Deal'; swelling strings carry 'Goldmines' from alt-country to Spaghetti Western; the woodwind flourishes on 'Love Lies' are lovely.
