‘Christmas Eve’ is a song that fascinates your senses with memories of childhood and the joy of Christmas’s past and present.

Enter the realm of ‘Christmas Eve’ as Robb sings of the innocence of a child’s Christmas dreams and remembering a time when people take a break from their busy lives to reconnect with one another. 

Christmas Eve also happens to be his birthday, so join him and open your mind to the magic that is Christmas.  Robb loves to add a special twist to his Christmas songs and ‘Christmas Eve’ does just that with a sample from the 1984 movie, ‘A Christmas Carol’.

‘Next To Me’ sings of being appreciative of what we have and Robb also refers to his two young daughters with the lyric, ‘Let’s not rush this little mind’

‘Christmas Eve’ and ‘Next to Me’ are available on Bandcamp now and all online music stores from the 9th of December 2022.

This month I'll be joined by two members of the band and also special guest Ben Nelson.

Ben has played music in various forms for over a decade now, but only when his song writing was refocused by life experiences did he find a necessity for the therapy of self expression. He has an honest, introspective, raw body of work he’d like to share with the world in whatever form or opportunity he can.

Comments, questions, thoughts and love are also welcome live during the show.

Hope springs eternal during the holidays, even in this year of the pandemic with Robb Murphy’s new release.

Join Robb as he reflects on the reason for the season, the trials of the past year and the anticipation of the birth of his daughter, Imogen Alena Murphy, born in November 2020. ‘A Brand New Life’ rejoices as a new life begins and Robb focuses on all of the good that can come from a difficult situation. As an extra Robb also created a music box version of the song. Just listen and feel the joy of the Christmas season and let your worries flow away.

‘A Brand New Life’ is now available on Bandcamp, iTunes, iTunes Music Player, Google Play Music, Amazon and other online music stores!

‘Choose Your World’ is a song about how our thoughts create our world. By choosing to see things in a positive way our perception becomes reality and we are more thankful for all that we have. The song was written as a mantra to motivate me and I am hoping it will help others too.

The music video was to be filmed in locations just before the Covid-19 pandemic hit us. With everyone in lockdown the plans changed and I reached out to the band and people online who recored their videos at home, putting their own take on the song.

Pale White is a Christmas song that sings of how we come together each year for the holiday season, putting aside differences and making an effort to see friends and family.  It is also a time for reflection and fond memories of those who are sadly no longer with us.  "Cause we go all the way, and in the cracks we find we can go some more", even in tough times there is always hope.  Just when you think you have been pushed to the limit we find there is always room to grow a little more.

Accompanying the song will be a video, filmed and directed by Firefly Films.

‘Pale White’ is now available on Bandcamp, iTunes, iTunes Music Player, Google Play Music, Amazon and other online music stores.

“The mood is up as the sun goes down
And the sky rolls over Spijkerboor town
Nobody here feels a stranger’s weight
As the night unfolds the stories are told
God this place has a home in my soul”

‘Laughing at the Sky’ is a hopeful song with a hint of country that sings of what seems to be a lost, heartbroken old man but in fact he is very content with his simple minimalistic lifestyle. ‘Oh there’s a lot of life in the old boy yet’ is the line that repeats in the chorus emphasising that no matter what age you are or what life circumstances you are in, there is always hope and more life to come regardless what misfortunes you may have been dealt.

The accompanying video was shot in the Bardenas Reales Desert in Spain and narrates this story in the form of a lonesome cowboy making his journey towards Castil de Terra, a famous rock formation in Navarra Northern Spain.

Local filmmaker David McGarvey from Firefly Films shot and directed the music video.

Robb Murphy wrote a song about a Dutch village. ‘Afterglow’  tells the story of Café ‘t Keerpunt, a historical pub in Spijkerboor, The Netherlands. The song takes the listener back into the past and taps into the feeling of the comforts of home.

“The mood is up as the sun goes down
And the sky rolls over Spijkerboor town
Nobody here feels a stranger’s weight
As the night unfolds the stories are told
God this place has a home in my soul”

Robb Murphy and his band performed at ‘t Keerpunt many times over the years. Willem Dijkema, owner of the pub, asked Robb to write a song about his experiences. ‘Afterglow’ will be part of a compilation CD that will be released later this year by the owners of the pub to celebrate their 20 year ownership. Situated in the north of The Netherlands, Spijkerboor is a small village with a peaceful and rural character, where the pub is the heart of the village. Known for its live music, poetry, literature and plays the pub not only is home for the locals, but also for artists from all over the world who have performed there. People come from far to see their favourite artists play. Café ‘t Keerpunt’s warm-heartedness, hospitality and history make this pub one of a kind. It is a pub where the stories and the music will never stop.

'Afterglow will be available on Bandcamp, iTunes, iTunes Music Player, Google Play Music, Amazon and other online music stores from the 15th of March 2019.

This song was written during a long summer in Italy and is a lighthearted song with a 60’s vibe, a hint of The Beach Boys, certain to spark memories of those heady summer days and your first love.  The lyric, ‘Dolce far niente’, is an important activity in Italy and translates to, ‘the sweetness of doing nothing’. 
 
The song was recorded and produced by Robb himself. Creative support provided by Kevin Carlisle on drums; Dave Bennington on trumpet and bass; Rick McKee electric guitar; with Robb providing acoustic guitar, piano and vocals. Italian Dreams is mastered by Neal Calderwood of Manor Park Studios with Art Cover provided by Ronan Reid.  
 
The single is supported by an animated lyric video created by Italian artist Marco Burani.
