Chris Murphy is best known to the nation for his electrifying performance of ‘Evie (part 1) on “Australian Idol” 2006. Marcia Hines noted that it was “One of the most exciting performances we’ve ever seen on that stage” and Mark Holden awarded it a ‘Touchdown’.
Member of renowned WA band “Murphy’s Lore”, Chris has led the group from its formation in 1993, through the triumphs and tribulations attached to being one of the states highest profile bands.
Chris and Murphy’s Lore have played most venues in Perth and have toured extensively north and south of the State as well as performing many high profile gigs around the country. 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.
Chris Murphy is one of Perth’s most prominent solo performers. An acoustic guitar, an amazing voice and a sense of humour are the only tools Chris calls on to deliver a riveting show. Such performances have led to his recent inclusion on the “Kevin Bloody Wilson live in the UK & Ireland 2004” tour, which brought about many accolades for his musical and vocal proficiency.
A professional musician with 12 years experience, 3 original album releases, national TV appearances and numerous song writing awards under his belt, Chris Murphy delights audiences from all walks of life whenever and wherever he plays.

Once again I have a favour to ask of everyone out there in the MySpace world, and I’m sorry because I know these things can get a bit annoying, but every vote counts, and I am happy to return the favour if you need me to vote or rate anything of yours, so… if you get the chance could you please rate my new song “Million Miles Away” on Triple J Unearthed?
It's getting towards the end of the year and i'm just wrapping things up with one last show in Geelong and a short tour through Tassie, with Ben Wells supporting!
