Wednesday: Ten Tumbao

Ten Tumbao lead us into the Thanksgiving long weekend with a night of Samba filled rhythms and Brazilian vibes to put you in the mood for that quintessentially American holiday of Turkey and hours in front of the t.v. You will need a good stock pile of fun before enduring that torture. So what better time than the night before?

Thursday: Wild Sextet

This is the third annual Matt Murphy's Thanksgiving concert. The perfect excuse to get away from that annoying aunt you only see once a year or that neighbor that drives you crazy. Walk
the dog at 9pm and head into Murphy's for a free concert with one of the Best Jazz acts in the USA right now and the only ticket in town on Thanksgiving night for sure. Original tunes inspired by the greats from the Fifties and Sixties.

FRIDAY: Burning Fence

Craig Akira leads his ensemble of Pressure Cooker musicians with a unique take on all things Dancehall and vintage Reggae. A great performer and enduring legend at Murphy's. Shake off
the Thanksgiving blues and get dancing tonight!

SATURDAY: Audrey Ryan

"Ryan is like Joni Mitchell and Radiohead playing some kind of hybrid jazz music that just doesn't exist anywhere else." - Leo Weekly (Louisville, KY)
Audrey is just back from a seven week sojourn through Europe discovering that busking on the corner is more lucrative than a sold out show at the Paradise....probably.

An eclectic indie singer-songwriter using loops, finger pianos, accordion and other unique instrumentation which blends Neil Young, Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan with contemporaries such as Robert Wyatt, Wilco and Stereolab...

SUNDAY: Rubblebucket Orchestra

Members from John Brown's Body perform an Afro-Dub Trance vibe. I guess you cross Anti Balas with Scratch Perry or something. Lots of Trumpet and melody too I imagine if Alex Toth is in the mix, which he is!

MONDAY: Madi Diaz

Madi Diaz is one of those performers who will endure no matter what. Young gifted and ....everything else. Soulful songs full of hurt, yearning and hope. With a good band and sound akin to anything from Wilco to Pj Harvey on prozac she definitely is an act you must check out now!

TUESDAY: B3 KINGS

Here for the next round of Tuesdays is the ever popular B3 kings on a mission to convert everyone to the Church of B3. Boogaloo meets Reggae with some serious attitude. We are talking Brian Thomas (Akashic, JBB) and Timo Shanko on all out attack mode. Sensational musicianship with an up for it crowd.

Here Comes The Night!

This could be one of the best weekend lineups at Murphy's in quite a long time.

It has a great feel to it what with the holiday on Monday as well. Get out for every night, you can, it's all free! In any city in the world there will not be a line up this good for free anywhere. Guaranteed. So be glad you live in this city!

Toussaint played the Roxy with Soulive and was excellent. Congratulations!

We had the first Murphy's vs Wally's night last Monday and here is the result!

SENSATIONALSTUFF BETWEEN KEN CLARKE/LOIS CATO/TIMO SHANKO.

Superpowers at The Middle East soon as well....stay tuned. This week at Murphy's is hotting up, October is off the hook. Spread the word, and have lots of fun.

The Upcoming shows at Matt Murphy's Pub will delight the aural senses.

FRIDAY:
Burning Fence

Akira leads the Pressure Cooker crew on a slightly scaled down version of the band that has been rocking Boston for the last ten years. Always a party with a Ska tinged horn-tastic vibe.
The perfect band for a kick start to the weekend.

SATURDAY:
Sambalolo

Boubacar has a residency at the Midway Cafe every Monday in JP - sensational stuff. We snagged him for the Saturday slot here and are mighty glad to have him on board. Amazing presence and great band with a sound that swings from mellow beauty to resplendent glory in the turn of a phrase. Songs in French and English, with American and Mali influences.

SUNDAY:
Fully Celebrated Orchestra

The New York Times said it best when describing Jim Hobbes as one of the greatest living American Saxophone players. After more than fifteen years together this band is finally hitting
their stride..Recent shows with The Slip at the Middle East and JFJO at The Paradise are testament not just to their enduring appeal but to the extent they inspire the best.

MONDAY:
Madi Diaz

A welcome return to a Murphy's favorite here. Madi blends classic influences and weaves them into a fresh sounding indie-country mix. Great voice, great songwriter, great look and this girl
will go far. Catch her while you can and say "I saw her at Murphy's on a fricking Monday night!".

This is part of the new Monday night series "Why do Birds?" A not too subtle reference to an all female singer songwriter night.

TUESDAY:
Public House

Geoff Scott returns with mike Rivard and Brian Sayers and Timo Shanko to show everyone why they are at the Pub in the first place. Six years on and going STRONG. Music experimentation,
stretching of the musical mind muscle.

Post jam sounds of the nth degree get your pulse racing for the mid week weekend at Murphy's.

Expect a great crowd for what remains the best night in Boston bar none.
