My Hollywood movie director friend, Billy McAdams asked me to use a couple of my originals for a movie he just finished directing. It's  called "Agua Caliente".Watch For It...........................I'm releasing a video from the vault.  In 1995 I was gigging with Tombo Comboat The Voodoo Lounge in Santa Barbara California . One of the song performances and aninterview recorded later at my Guitarman Studios was televised and I can't believe I found a copy.Download this music video and the others when you scroll down to "Videos"I also found a recording of me gigging at the Nameless Coffee House in Cambridge Massachusetts in the Fall of 1975.  Ira Idelson on clarinet and John "Bones" Burrill on the rhythm bones. John , Ira, and I had a street band  while I attended classes at Berklee College.           The band was called "The Back Beat Boys From Back Bay" We were inducted into the Boston Museum
of Rock And Roll............  check it out..........www.geocities.com/fredremainslost/b/johnburrill.htm

         
I'll be posting a lot of Promo pics and Playbills from gigs from as far back as 1971.









I am also releasing the demo of my kids book -   "The Ditty Bings"


This video demo can be reviewed by any of the publishers that have recently contacted me.





Live Review: Spider Murphy gets down with "Mom 'n' Nem" at The Bee



Spider Murphy, 10/21/2010, Showcase at Studio Bee

Photos & Review By  Butch Leitz



Thanks to the collaboration with KRCC, COPPeR,the Gazette,The Indepenent,Downtown Partnerships,

Pikes Peak Library District,and the Pikes Peak Center and KCME, The Showcase At Studio Bee

at Pikes Peak Center is back and in full swing.

The Music Series features some of the best in local musical talent, performing original music. All artists included

in The Showcase are homegrown talent from El Paso,Teller, Pueblo counties and have produced an album and

write their own music.

All Showcase at The Studio Bee performances start at 6 PM  (doors open at 5:30 PM) and the best part is they

are free to the public !

Last nights edition included a performance by Spider Murphy on guitars and banjo accompanied by Mike Thompson           

on bass and Isaac Thompson on drums.  I'll have to admit I'm not sure how to categorize Murphy. His voice

sometimes growling, sometimes low and sweet, sitting back in the corner of the stage like he didn't want to be

recognized, he demonstrated crossover appeal to the blues/rock/country base of fans he's established. And

here's something. Murphy shows a decided sense of social conciousness by driving over a thousand miles

a week playing for folks at retirement and veteran homes across the state of Colorado when he's not performing on

stage. His banjo playing was very interesting as well; while showing that he could play the banjo in a bluegrass

picking style, he just as easily used it for strumming and soft little riffs which you don't associate with this instrument.

Have to admit it, I was impressed.

Songs included numbers from recording including "Hey Mudhead" (Yer Mom 'N' Nem) , The Cane Song",          

 "Snake Head Whiskey". and "Creole Rose".



Thank you BUTCH LEITZ.............Google his photography........Spider admits he's impressed !

Spider Murphy - Shades Of Haze

I don't think I recorded all these songs in alphabetical order..........well, maybe I did, but if I did, why? There are so many different styles here .......all I'm saying is that don't just download the one you heard on the radio.....give a sample listen to a bunch of them before downloading......I know you'll find one or two of my tunes stickin' in yer craw....you'll be goin' - "...why am I singin' this in the shower??"
