A Concert with Lee Murdock

Lee Murdock has uncovered a boundless body of music and stories in the Great Lakes. Taking snapshots from history, his songs summon the listener to take a front-row seat, to look through the eyes and into the hearts of individuals who have shaped our heritage on and around the Great Lakes. His concerts invoke a sense of place, but it is a universal place, and a timeless repertoire that celebrates the North American people, their triumphs and tragedies, work songs, and pastimes. Noted as a fluent instrumentalist on six and twelve string guitars, Murdock combines ragtime, Irish, blues, and folk styles with his flair for storytelling in song. His musical influences span fifteen generations and combine original compositions with traditional music.
