Tours to Singapore and supports for legendary Australian acts such as Jimmy Barnes and Daryl Braithwaite have cemented their reputation as one of the most accomplished acts on the scene.
Chris’ younger brother and Murphy’s Lore keyboardist and vocalist Courtney Murphy came third on “Australian Idol ” in 2004 and is now working on his debut album and touring the nation.
