Michael Martin Murphey In Concert

Popular singer and song writer Michael Martin Murphey will be headlining the Cedar Livestock & Heritage Festival Friday night at the Cedar City Heritage Theater.  Michael Martin Murphey has had a long and varied career on the fringes of pop and country. Playing a number of stringed instruments, he initially found success as a songwriter, as artists such as Kenny Rogers and the “Monkees” have covered his work.

In Austin, Tex., in the early '70s he was part of a loose scene of singer-songwriters (including Willie Nelson and Jerry Jeff Walker) who were expanding the scope of country music. Throughout this time he steadily released records that found critical acclaim and regional success. Murphey hit pop pay dirt with his 1975 ode to a horse called "Wild Fire" -- it went to the top of the pop charts and made him a star. Since then he has cut a number of popular records featuring country and western songs, including “Carolina In the Pines” and “What’s Forever For”.  

Michael Martin Murphey was inducted in the Western Music Hall of Fame in 2004, and is the best selling Cowboy Music Singer of our time. His music reflects his life and many wide-ranging interests.  Michael's passions include preserving American Cowboy Western History, restoring the land back to its natural prairie state, and to breed and raise Texas Longhorn Cattle, American Quarter Horses and American Paint Horses on his Rocking 3M Ranch.  To learn more about Michael Martin Murphey, log onto www.michaelmartinmurphey.com
