THE MURPHY SISTERS
Hailing from the West Coast of Ireland, The Murphy Sisters are a dynamic trio of musicians/songwriters with a unique sound that is thrilling audiences around the world. Their songwriting style is rooted in their beginnings in traditional Irish music and has evolved to encompass folk, country and pop influences. Their unique blend of harmonies, lively music and humour, captures the pure essence of their close family bond and brings the audience on an unforgettable musical journey. Songs such as ‘Fallen Leaves’ and ‘Nightmare’ reflect this in a very personal way as the sisters recall life’s hard knocks.
The Murphy Sisters are an extremely hard working band that have travelled far and wide to perform their songs to large audiences such as at the Festival Interceltique du Lorient in 2018/2019 and in Nantes where they headlined the Urban Voices Show. They regularly perform in Dublin and have showcased their talents at the famous Whelans venue and 'The Button Factory. Their music has also been featured on Netflix. The three sisters are currently working on their new EP which they will showcase on a tour of North America next year.
Rachel Rose is the baby of the group but don't let that fool you! She can hold her own on any stage with her Adele-like soulful voice and insane concertina and whistle skills. She shreds the concertina like no one ever has before! Her musical creativity is unmatched; she can compose a tune out of thin air, just tell her the key!!
Katie Alice is the glue that holds the group together. She is a multi-instrumentalist (fiddle/guitar) and vocalist who specialises in harmonies. A voice of an angel, the soprano of the group with a superb range that can hit all the high notes.
Sarah Jane is the oldest of the group and the resident MC! Her humour, wit and crowd work is second only to her exceptional banjo skills! She shares the mammoth task of lead vocalist with the baby of the group Rachel Rose and is partial to a low harmony or two!
