Father Murphy

THE STORY: Reverend Murphy was born in Brooklyn, New York, hundreds years ago in a hot hot summer.
He had one son and a daughter: Freddie Murphy and Chiara Lee. They choose 2 different ways: the little Lee went to China, while Freddie was stuck in Brooklyn.
They kept in touch for a while, then both fell asleep for many years.
Three years ago they met again in Venice and there you go: Father Murphy was born.

THE PROJECT: Father Murphy is couple, a trio, a no-band.
During live shows Chiara Lee, Vittorio and Freddie work together to play toy instruments, or to play instruments as toys.
While Vittorio plays at the same time a kid-drumset and his old violin, Chiara puts together different sounds taken from any kind of old chinese toys and italian keyboards…and Freddie? Freddie is actually a reverend who sings a song from this world and the other one.
The Trio lived together in Brooklin, New York for a while, where they recorded their first home made record, released by Madcap Collective in 2003. Then they moved to Berlin. Living now in Italy, they play live shows just to spread Book of Revelation’s truth out to the world, even if all this sounds too religious.

“The Wonderful and Unusually Talented  Rev. Freddie Murphy and His Musical Partners. With all of the ideas that surround Father Murphy, their music can be best described as Electronic-Organic Country Punk Folk Music, but that's just all We could think of right now----there’s a bunch more in there too. They have pretty much taken everything around them and have distilled it into something amazing. And They insist on singing in English----much more interesting language They say. “
