Up-and-coming singer/songwriter Dave Murphy flavors this diva-dominated
genre with the unnerving perspective of a guy -- you know, the strong
but sensitive type. Whether he's weaving a tale of woe over a lost love
or simply fondly reminiscing, Murphy is a natural storyteller who uses
both image-rich lyrics and compelling melodies to illustrate his tale.
With the addition of tight vocal harmonies and creative instrumentation,
Murphy's music -- at once thought-provoking and an easy listen -- graciously
rides the fine folk/Americana line.
