An Evening With Chris Murphy featuring Special Guest Jerry Hannan

For 25 years, with no sign of slowing down, violinist Chris Murphy has made a living by writing, performing and recording original music. Born into an Irish-Italian family near New York City, Murphy was surrounded by the disparate and eclectic sounds of his neighbors’ traditional music. “I heard and was influenced by everything – from Italian-mandolin music, to bluegrass and folk, to Latin music,” he says. Inevitably, he discovered rock ‘n’ roll, claiming still further influence from some of rock’s most adventurous and eclectic icons: Lou Reed and Ry Cooder, Bob Dylan and Richard Thompson. “My real hero,” he says, “was David Lindley. Hearing him play fiddle and lap steel with Jackson Browne — that kind of esoteric, enigmatic soloing over songs is originally what I loved.” Now based in Los Angeles, Murphy earns his living by teaching — guitar, mandolin and violin — working on music for films, and, mostly, by performing his work for audiences. Chris Murphy's solo show or band performances feature a variety music that may include: Blues, Bluegrass, Folk, Country Rock, Gypsy, Celtic, Ambient Post-Rock, Indie rock, Americana, and other World Music influences depending on the venue. You dont want to miss Chris as he takes the Cabin Creek stage, joined by Special Guest, San Franscisco songwriter Jerry Hannan and they take the audience on a journey around the world on the wings of his magic violin.
