Trish Murphy
Fri, Sep 15, 6:40 PM BMI Stage Stage
Trish Murphy began her music career in her native Houston, performing with her brother Darrin Murphy as the popular duo Darrin & Trish, but she really took off after moving to Austin 10 years ago and launching her solo career with her debut album, Crooked Mile. A sparkling mix of rootsy, singer-songwriter fare and killer pop hooks, the album netted Murphy a major-label deal for her follow-up, 1999s Rubies on the Lawn. But her strongest work was yet to come, after she returned to the D.I.Y. route for 2001s live Captured and 2003s ultra-assertive (and catchy) Girls Get In Free. Live, Murphy comes off like a natural-born rock star, whether shes fronting a rock band on a or playing unplugged. Outside of her solo career, Murphy divides her time between working with GenAustin, a non-profit outreach program that helps middle-school girls develop strong self-esteem, and cranking out the best AM pop tunes of the 70s as part of Austins rockin all-star covers band, the K-Tell Hit Machine.
