NEW CONCERT DATE COMING SOON!

Michael Martin Murphey

The Michael Martin Murphey concert is being rescheduled due to unexpected family medical considerations.  More information regarding the new concert date will be coming soon.

One of America’s favorite cowboy performers, Michael Martin Murphey, comes to back to town for a solo performance at the UPTOWN MARBLE THEATER this Saturday evening, February 25, at 8 pm .  "I love performing at this place.  It's really special", says Murphey.  From his early 70’s Cosmic Cowboy days to his present focus on the western cowboy, this seasoned singer-songwriter has always created a powerful stage presence with wonderful songs, fine musicianship, and a strong voice. 

Murphey was born in Dallas, TX, and quickly took to playing the ukulele. He had a special love for cowboy stories and songs and also read avidly as a boy -- especially the work of Mark Twain and William Faulkner -- and was writing poetry before he was in his teens.  By the 60’s, Michael was living in Los Angeles and writing for Colgems Records.  One of his first published songs “What Am I Doing Hangin’ Round” was a hit for his friend Mike Nesmith and the Monkees during their heydays, and Kenny Rodgers did an album of Murphey songs know as “The Ballad of Calico”.  Back in Texas, in the Austin area, during the early '70s, he resumed his singer/songwriter career and fell in with Jerry Jeff Walker, Willie Nelson, and B.W. Stevenson and the beginning of the Cosmic Cowboy days.  He also put together a new band that specialized in country-rock and folk-rock. Other well received songs followed with   “Geronimo’s Cadillac”, “Cherokee Fiddle”, “Carolina in the Pines”, and the smash hit “Wildfire”.

 

In 1990, Murphey returned to one of the first loves of his life, cowboy music.   He cut an album, Cowboy Songs, made up of traditional and well-known popular songs from the genre, including "The Yellow Rose of Texas" and "Tumbling Tumbleweeds." That record uncovered a niche waiting to be filled, selling several times more than any of Murphey's other Warner Bros. releases. That success, in turn, led the label to establish its Warner Western imprint, which, in addition to Murphey (who also produces a lot of the work), has also recorded the harmony group the Sons of the San Joachin, veteran singing cowboy Herb Jeffries, and poet Waddie Mitchell. 

 

Settle in for the show as we trade the campfire for cozy, comfortable theater seats.

Carolyn Wonderland 

A musical force equipped with the soulful vocals of Janis and the guitar slinging skills of Stevie Ray, Carolyn Wonderland reaches into the depths of the Texas blues tradition with the wit of a poet. She hits the stage with unmatched presence, a true legend in her time.
“She'd grown up the child of a singer in a band and began playing her mother's vintage Martin guitar when other girls were dressing dolls. She'd gone from being the teenage toast of her hometown Houston to sleeping in her van in Austin amid heaps of critical acclaim for fine recordings Alcohol & Salvation, Bloodless Revolution, and most recently, Miss Understood.
Along with the guitar and the multitude of other instruments she learned to play – trumpet, accordion, piano, mandolin, lap steel – Wonderland's ability to whistle remains most unusual. Whistling is a uniquely vocal art seldom invoked in modern music, yet it's among the most spectacular talents the human voice possesses.
"Carolyn Wonderland's live shows are just outright phenomenal. Top notch, five-stars, off the meter - whatever the clich., Carolyn and her band meet it...Her voice can be as beautiful as an angel and as powerful as a Class 5 hurricane all within the drop of a hat...One thing's for certain, some forces - even those barely five feet tall - cannot be contained." - Dante Dominick, Rockzillaworld Magazine
