ABOUT JEANETTE MURPHY

Singer, songwriter and musician Jeanette Murphy is an unsigned independant recording artist from London, UK. Jeanette has a wealth of experience on stage as an acoustic singer and songwriter, where she performs an effortless mix of guitar, stunning vocals, and thought provoking lyrics, to create a truly unique style that is very much her own.

Jeanette has released her new album called 'DEFINING MOMENTS'
and with it comes a new band.

The JEANETTE MURPHY BAND... are one of the few bands that openly embrace an eclectic mix of genres. They are a talented bunch of music lovers with a broad range of influences, who tend not to allow pre-determined musical genres to limit their range.

The band were brought into the studio to initially record on the album 'Defining Moments', and only came together for the first time to play, at the album 'launch last year - which was a great success. Finding like minded spirits, they decided to keep the band going ...

BAND MEMBERS:
Steve Gee on bass & double bass
Paul Haydon on drums & cujon
Saal on keyboards, banjo & mandolin
Tyrone Thomas on Lead Guitar & Acoustic Guitar
Plus surprise special guests from south west London’s Irish music sessions.

The songs are said to be "strong, innovative and with meaning" as they explore lifes passions, ironies, love and politics using an eclectic mix of genres. If you get the chance to see Jeanette Murphy Band play, you can expect to hear a great selection of original songs, ranging from powerful grunge guitar crunches on 'Burning Bridges', to the smooth upbeat jazz swing of 'Two Busy'. The variety continues, with a country style on 'Back Home Again', and gives an acoustic melodic twist to 'One'. Yet throughout it all, this band makes it all sound coherent.

The band currently have gigs coming up in and around London, and are looking forward to performing a few festivals next year. (see the 'Live' page for latest tour dates) They prefer to make each event special, with new songs, exclusive merchandise, plus a few 'giveaways' to their regular fanbase.
