Murphy will begin his new album Gate Religion with three sets on Saturday night at Club Soda for the closing night of the Jazz Festival.
In fact, Murphy discovered the religion decades ago.
“The first one I connected with was the blue one. On CKUT, I heard Mudy Waters’ song Manish Boy, ”Murphy said in the morning coffee. “He left there, and he is still as strong as ever.

“I stayed in the game for a minute,” he said. “I made my first bar gig in 1990 at the age of 16.” But he could pass for 21.
The inspiration for the Gate religion came in the early days of the epidemic.

We didn’t really think about it. I did not practice anything. The album honors Elmore James, Howlin Wolf and Otis Spain, returning to further Chicago blues.

I can’t go down in such a rabbit hole considering where I am in my career. I enjoy playing in Montreal and playing ***** with my team. For me, the next step is out of town, trying to take it to the next level, ”he said.
“People call us bar band. There are no insults. Springston started as a bar band. So it is good that I am doing what the boss is doing. All I can do is control what happens on stage, and that’s the same if I’m playing in a courtyard, a wedding, a bar, a club, a stage or something. At the same time, I try to be as energetic, energetic, and emotional as possible, and it is a privilege to be able to do so. ”
