The Smoky Mountain Blues Society will once again present live music with its continuation of our monthly River Cruises of 2023. This month’s performance will feature the Shaun Murphy Band on the Tennessee Riverboat on Sunday, May 7th at 4 pm – 7 pm.
Shaun Murphy found my way to the Blues stage at the first Ann Arbor Blues Fest, in 1969, and was completely smitten. Getting to play at such an important milestone festival had my head spinning. That was my awakening to the Blues, and I couldn’t have been among a better line-up: Big Mama Thornton, Luther Allison, Son House, Muddy Waters, BB King, Freddie King, Lightnin’ Hopkins, and the list went on and on.
Solidified into the Detroit music scene, I found my calling, but it was to be a bit elusive. While I continued my music education over the years, I was also free to pursue another of my loves, acting, where I was able to snag two different life-changing musical plays: Hair and Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band On The Road.
