The musical smoothness that only comes from experience, Kelly Patrick Murphy is a full time Guitarist, Singer and One-Man Band for Corporate, Public, and Private events.

It all started in 4th grade by choosing trumpet for the school band. Kelly found his way to playing guitar, violin, and harmonica in cover bands starting in the 70’s when he was only 14. He has then supported himself by being a professional musician through high school, college, graduate school, and beyond. He has performed throughout the Midwest and in the casinos of Reno and Lake Tahoe.

A life-long passion for music has culminated into a tightly woven, professionally produced show by Kelly Murphy. A multi-talented musician, Kelly has drawn on over 4 decades of live performances to meticulously build a multi-layered show that appeals to most any audience.

With a passion for evolving a show, he discovered new cutting-edge music technologies. Digital audio workstation, sequencing, and backing tracks creates a full band sound from one musician. It’s this “one man band” aspect of his performance that fascinates audiences whenever he plays and accounts for a good portion of what makes his show worth seeing. His stage presence, showmanship, appearance, and an easy ability to connect with an audience makes up another portion.

But, it’s Kelly’s talent as a musician, above all else, that garners the respect & admiration of an audience and rounds out the full package. This show also allows him to focus solely on music to make a living.

Features vocals, lead guitar, harmonica, fiddle, and synth guitar, played through a premium PA system with a full light show.

Variety of music: 80’s rock, classic rock music from guitar heroes, blues, southern rock, party music, country, and jazz instrumentals.

Audience participation is a key element of his performances.
