About LAUREN MURPHY :
http://www.LaurenMurphyMusic.com
Baton Rouge born Murphy is a veteran singer-songwriter with close to two decades of experience from the California rock arena to the Gulf Coast. Relocating from N. Ca. to Fairhope, AL. in 2015 following the death of her husband and music partner, she assembled her Nappie-Nominated high energy band, "The Psychedelics”. The band came to a crashing halt when the pandemic restrictions combined with the tragic death of her drummer & co-writer collided. The recording sessions from 2019 at Dauphin Street Sound (Mobile) resulted in her latest and most dynamic work to date; 'Psychedelics'. It is her fifth, and was released in 2021 to National acclaim.
Her vast experience boasts shared stages with Steve Kimock, Bob Weir, Bernie Worrell, Papa Mali, The Jerry Garcia Band, Will Kimbrough, Ivan Neville, Dave Jordan, Grayson Capps, Melvin Seals, Joan Osborne, Lisa Loeb, and many other members of industry royalty. Lauren has been described by No Depression as "Simply Brilliant. The Real Deal." WWOZ calls her work ‘Excellent' and Jambase reviewed her as penning "songs from the heart.” Relix dubbed her "Lady Willpower" as far back as 1997. Glide Magazine voted her lead vocal with Zero in 2010 of Allen Toussaint's 'On your way down', as one of the top 10 covers of the decade. She specializes in power vocals and haunting melodies, and is an accomplished guitarist in her own right. Americana Highways describes Murphy’s voice as ‘warm, unique jazz-tinged, with excellent intonation and phrasing’ that is like a ‘fine french brandy’.
Lauren's repertoire includes originals, but she is equally a strong interpreter of hits by Alison Krauss, Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou, and of course a slew of psychedelic anthems. Compared to Grace Slick & Janis Joplin, Murphy is a force all her own. Murphy currently resides in a 125 year old shotgun house in Madisonville, and is returning from a 2 year hiatus from the music Industry with a new single in the works.
