Delta Reign is a gulf coast band that is cooking up a unique new sound that fuses traditional bluegrass with western swing rhythms, tight vocal harmonies, stirring in some blues, a dash of jazz, resulting in what some are calling "bluegrass...delta style".

Delta Reign is a group of musicians from the Mobile river delta area that got together in the fall of 2004 for a jam. There was an energy and groove that they had together and instantly, they knew that this was to be a new band. So one week later as hurricane Ivan changed all their lives, Delta Reign was formed...

The members are, Benita Murphy on rhythm guitar (or upright bass) and singing most of the lead vocals. After performing quite a bit in the 80's and 90's, she opted to be at home with their son. After a ten year hiatus, Benita began performing again in 2003.
Benita's husband Pat Murphy is on banjo, lead and harmony vocals. Pat has had opportunity to play banjo with several great bands over the years. Together (or separately) , Pat and Benita have been performing bluegrass festivals, concerts and different venues all around the country.
Joining them in on fiddle in 2007 is Tom Morley. Tom spent five years playing fiddle with country music artist, John Anderson. Tom was also a Nashville session player as well as having many other musical credits, including performing with swing bands, the Mobile symphony, and his own celtic band,"Mithril". He currently resides in Fairhope, Alabama.
The newest member of the group is seasoned jazz bassist Dennis Gould from Baltimore, Maryland. He will also be switching over sometimes to do some guitar work for shows. For him, this is a new genre that he is excited to be exploring. Dennis now makes his home in Mobile, Alabama.

Together, the band members each bring to the table their own unique background of musical influences that blend together, giving Delta Reign that new "delta grass" sound that is stretching the boundaries of traditional bluegrass. They released their first CD in September 2006. They are currently writing new material and are in the studio working on another CD. The band is looking ahead to the future and are excited about where this still developing sound might take them...

"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)

"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!"
