Rich Murray

I am like a chameleon. I can adapt to the theme of your event as needed. I've worked with all walks of life in this musical journey. First impression may imply I'm a country artist; however, my first record deal was with blues label, and my main song catalog leans toward classic rock, while still hitting the country standards. I will look forward to helping you make your event a success. I can also provide break music between sets, as well as effect lighting depending on desired atmosphere and overall budget. I am very prompt and dependable from the booking stage to the performance stage. Rates range from acoustic & vocal without sound system to full band with full p.a. & lights. This leaves a lot of room for all scenarios in between, including me playing with bass & drum tracks to create a full band sound without the extra overhead. "I will work with you on all details."

This is the latest update of my bio. I've been at this a long-time folks. Thank goodness I still enjoy it! From the wedding receptions to the festival gigs. It's what I do.
