"I play the blues. Purists aren't thrilled with me because I hear things differently than others, offering my own interpretations of well known blues covers. I play my original tunes as well, written from pretty much my own life's experiences. I find it difficult to write about things I don't know about."
"My banner reads, "A Different Shade Of Blues." Do I play like the masters? HELL NO! No one does! But, I stay true to the feeling and the emotion blues music can and does invoke. Am I, or the band a "ta-daa-da-dum" blues band? NOPE!! Far from it. I don't crawl around on the stage, swing my guitar behind my back, bite the strings, and most certainly I don't do back flips off the stage either! I'd break every bone in my body if I did! LOL! What I do is to offer you a ticket to take a ride on a blues train. Where are we bound? Everywhere and anywhere. We may even stop for a while in your life! This blues train is fueled by passion, and guided by the rails of life I and you have all traveled."
"I invite you to come take a ride with me. All it costs is a little of your time, a little of your imagination, and if you feel like dancing - a little of your energy. And, maybe your smile. Oh, how I love those smiles! I know your toes and fingers will be tapping, and often your head's bobbing, and your butt's thumping on the bar stools. Come on out, check out the music, pick up a CD. This blues train is pulling into your station soon. And I hope hope you'll all climb aboard. And as always, thank you for supporting me, the band, and live music! ALL ABOARD!" - Michael "Big Dog" Murphy

The MURPHY/LEE DUO, comprised of Big Dog and "Texas" Mark Lee, had a great time at Rookie's Appleton last weekend, in Appleton, WI. Joining them was guitar great Darryl St. John. The trio entertained the many hard core fans that braved the cold, and warmed up to some Red-Hot blues as only the Big Dog and Tex can play it. The lead licks thrown in by Darryl St. John added a new dimension to their already powerhouse sound. It was a blast!! The MURPHY/LEE DUO is looking forward to returning soon!
