JAMIE WEBSTER DECEMBER AUSTRALIAN TOUR EDGES CLOSER

Following a hugely successful Australian tour in 2024, acclaimed Liverpool songwriter Jamie Webster returns to Australia this December for a special run of Australian headline shows, celebrating the release of his fourth studio album, Running Round The Sun, out now.

Jamie Webster also releases a single, Ode To Me And You – OUT NOW celebrating the enduring relationship between artist and audience. An uplifting single built on togetherness, gratitude and shared experience, the renowned Liverpool-based artist lands a heartfelt tribute to the people who have travelled alongside him throughout his remarkable journey, while revealing further compelling sonic dimensions of his most ambitious long-player to date.

Following the single releases of Just Begun, Small Town Life and Turning Point, Webster’s choice of next single is the opening track of his fourth album, Running Round The Sun, released with Modern Sky on Fri 4 September 2026. Paying attention to the intricacies of song selection and listener expectation, the rousing firing pistol of Track One is purposefully placed to give those loyal fans a taste of the Jamie Webster they’ve come to know and love, whilst pushing their shared story determinedly forwards.

With huge arena tours in the UK, growing demand around the world and wildly successful songs such as the mega-streaming street-folk anthem, Weekend In Paradise, the pressures and contradictions of recognition have occasionally broadsided the fiercely independent singer-songwriter. Past every milestone and beyond every moment of uncertainty, however, Webster still appreciates the one thing that has remained unchanged over the last decade above all else: the bond he shares with the thousands who continue to turn up for him wherever he goes.

Ode To Me And You is a celebration of not only Webster and his audience’s communal joy and pain, but the extraordinary relationship that exists between any artist, established or starting out, whose songs have become woven into other people’s lives. For Webster, with three hugely successful albums behind him, the song acknowledges that it’s the same, loyal audience that has made it possible for every subsequent song to be heard.

“Ode To Me And You is a celebration of the journey my fans and I have been on together,” says Webster. “They’ve given me a life in music, and hopefully I’ve given them songs that have become part of their lives, whether songs at weddings and birthdays or songs that got them through difficult times. When I’m feeling beaten black and blue, I remember the road we’ve travelled together, and that always helps.”

Recorded during Webster’s extended stay at the legendary Rockfield Studios alongside producer collaborators Dave Eringa and Tim Cunningham, Ode To Me And You shines light on Webster’s evolution as a songwriter and musician. Written in the open DADGAD guitar tuning and informed by Webster’s growing admiration for the harmonic richness of Joni Mitchell, the timeless craftsmanship of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and the wider Laurel Canyon canon, the single espouses a sophisticated musical vocabulary.

Running Round The Sun follows Webster’s two most recent UK Official Albums Chart Top Five albums, 2022’s Moments and 2024’s 10 For The People. Alongside Cunningham on bass, the album features Webster’s long-standing bandmates Danny Murphy (guitars) and Jim Sharrock (drums), whose chemistry has become an integral part of the album’s evolved sound.
