About L J Murphy

A modern-day beatnik, a vaudeville barker, a film noir rocker, a blues growler, a barroom balladeer, a saloon philosopher, a subway cabaret monster, and an untraditional traditionalist? Singer-songwriter L J Murphy has been described as all of these. He's also been described as one of the most poetic and original songwriters to come out of New York City in a very long time. Murphy's live performances are rambunctious and eclectic affairs that highlight the wide array of genres that his songwriting encompasses, from blues and ballads to funk to country to soul to rockabilly to folk and back again. ..
