Chris Murphy (USA) returns to the UK this July as part of his Songs From The Trees European Tour. A virtuoso violinist, singer-songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, Murphy performs original music spanning folk, Americana, and world music — looping his violin live to build rich, layered soundscapes entirely in the moment. Captivating and genre-defying, his shows draw on 200+ annual performances across two continents. Don’t miss him!

Chris Murphy is a New York-born, Los Angeles-based violinist, singer-songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist who performs over 200 concerts a year across the USA, UK, the Netherlands, and France. Renowned for his fluency across folk, jazz, classical, and world music, he describes his shows as a “live film score” — an immersive journey through original songs exploring love, loss, and redemption. A perennial favorite at Maverick Festival, Murphy‘s performances are as technically masterful as they are deeply human.

“The combination of compelling showmanship, breathtaking improvisation and tense, dramatic, narrative songs makes Chris Murphy captivating, both on stage and on record.” — Americana UK
