Felicity Urquhart & Josh Cunningham “Go North Go South Tour”
Multi-Award-winning singer-songwriters Felicity Urquhart & Josh Cunningham are hitting the road again to celebrate their chart-topping, third studio album, Everything Around You.
Spending multiple weeks at #1 on the ARIA Australian Country Album Chart, Everything Around You is an uplifting collection of songs about hope, love and resilience, offering light in the midst of life’s challenges.
With a blend of folk, country, blues, and roots unmistakably their own, Felicity and Josh pair world-class musicianship with down-to-earth performances that feel warm and inviting like a conversation with old friends.
Featuring new songs from Everything Around You, Felicity and Josh are charting a course towards connection, resilience and joy. An album born from their reflections on the wonder and the struggle of everything around us, these new songs are an appeal to hold onto the hope we have, and to reach out for the hope we lack.
Audiences can expect standout tracks from the album including “Go North Go South”, “Joy Roller” and “New Frontier”, along with fan favourites like “Size Up” from their previous award-winning albums and other musical collaborations (Josh as a member of The Waifs, and Felicity as a solo Country artist).
This ARIA-nominated, three-time Golden Guitar winning duo are a must-see in 2026. Book now to join Felicity & Josh for an uplifting and unforgettable live performance!
