THE MIGHTY STEF - STREETWISE TROUBADOUR FROM DUBLIN IRELAND


The Mighty Stef [AKA Stefan Murphy] is a singer and songwriter from Dublin Ireland, celebrated for the storytelling nature of his songs and his passionate live shows. He and his band are a veritable band of rock n roll Pirates, sailing a sea of influences that include everything from The Rolling Stones to the Pogues, Nick Cave To the Clash and Johnny Thunders to Johnny Cash.

The Mighty Stef’s upcoming sophomore full-length release “100 Midnights” is due out February 6th and promises to please die-hard fans and lure in new. These thirteen tracks feature an eclectic mixture of genres and sounds that will keep the listener on their toes. Fans will be treated to collaborations with Cait O’Riordan and Shane McGowan, the later who lends his vocals to haunting Townes Van Zandt cover “Waitin’ Around To Die”. The first single from “100 Midnights” is “Downtown”.

The Mighty Stef will introduce these new songs through extensive touring of Ireland and America and will make a string of appearances at Austin’s famed SxSW festival in March 2009 and gigs with trad punk band Flogging Molly

Also available on “The Firstborn Is Dead Recordings” is the “Death Threats E.P” which was released in May 2008 and The Mighty Stef’s acclaimed 2006 debut album “The Sins of Sainte Catherine”

The Mighty Stef is a rising international act whose passion and dedication to making heart-felt street-wise rock n roll makes he and his troop of outlaws a live act not to miss.

100 MIDNIGHTS AVAILABLE NOW FROM ALL GOOD RECORD SHOPS [IRE] AND USUAL DIGITAL OUTLETS WORLDWIDE

"MASTERPIECE"....... 4.5/5....... HOTPRESS MAGAZINE

The Mighty Stef is something of an anomaly on the current indie-wasteland that is the Irish music scene. TOTALLY DUBLIN MAGAZINE 4/5

The Mighty Stef: a mess of swaggering braggadocio. Exactly what we need in these dark times. THE IRISH TIMES 3/5

Like an Irish Iggy Pop, he is: loud, brash but ultimately far more subtle than you'll ever realise. STATE MAGAZINE

You heard U2, now it is time for some FRESH, NEW talent from Ireland: Meet Dublin's blue collar rock bard The Mighty Stef.. sounding like the result of a session with Johnny Thunders and Scott Walker in the back room of a pub. His sound incorporates a big dollop of New York Punk with the flamboyance of Johnny Thunders and a pinch of blue collar rock a la Springsteen.TUNERAKER.COM

100 Midnights is an impressive offering from The Mighty Stef and has firmly set his place at the table of Irish music talent. With an big fanbase growing further and further in the USA, Stef is up and coming in a rare genre, and in time, he's bound to be up their with the likes of Nick Cave and Shane MacGowan.IRISH MUSIC TELEVISION

Mighty Stef will probably be around for quite some time, and if he gets noticed, is due for the sort of cult following that musicians like Tom Waits and Nick Cave get, the notice that is due to equal parts musical talent, raw charisma and innovation of sound. ABOUT.PUNKMUSIC.COM

100 Midnights is an achievement, and the genre-hopping style makes it an interesting journey from start to finish. DAILY MUSIC GUIDE 4/5

The Mighty Stef's second studio album is the same mixture of folk and folklore that makes Stefan Murphy an artist that really stands out from the crowd.DROP-D MAGAZINE

 

What 'They' say about The Mighty Stef & The Sins Of Sainte Catherine.

'Idiosyncratic Punk Rock Sea-Shanties' THE SUNDAY TIMES

'Channelling the ghost of Johhny Cash Through the Devil-Boned-Blues Of Jack White, The Mighty Stef is Dublin's finest unsung hero' NME

At Times The Mighty One even flirts with genius. His bluesey Tom Waits endebted rock n roll is pretty much as elemental as it gets, Stefs resping voice rings out like a deep south death-row prisoner that isnt going down without a fight.NME'

One part country, One part Noise, The Mighty Stef lands somewhere in between Nick Cave and Tom Waits, a touch more on the upbeat side than either though' WWW.DROP-D.IE

'Whisper The Mighty Stef's name in certain quarters and you'll hear him proclaimed as something of a genius, a pivotal figure within Dublin's psycho rock scene, hes been threatening something special for some time, and praise be, The Sins Of Sainte Catherine is a fine representation of his considerable talent. 'HOTPRESS MAGAZINE

This charismatic Dublin troubadour's bolshy blend of garage, rock, blues and good ol' broken hearted drunken laments will put fire in your belly.THE STAR NEWSPAPER

There is a maturity to stefs songwriting that echoes Nick Cave, but he manages to maintain an individualistic streak that gets better as the album winds down. The Themes of his songs are more realistic than optimistic, there are sparse moments when hope filters through in the disguise of tender harmonies. Do yourself a favour and add this album to your collection.TOTALLY DUBLIN MAGAZINE

With the sleazy swagger and sauce of a whole crew of sailors, the Mighty Stef is actually just one man. UK MORNING STAR
