Murfitt & Main

-
The image features a man and a woman holding a guitar, likely from the Murfitt & Main band. They are standing indoors against a wall, possibly preparing for a concert or performance. The man and woman are musicians and the photo captures them with a musical instrument.

Murfitt & Main plumb the depths of country, bluegrass, and western swing, playing homemade songs steeped in the living tradition of roots music. Their original songs possess a clarity rooted in the musical traditions of rural North America, in a contemporary voice. Heartbreak, honky-tonks, whiskey, unions, religion, the Canadian terrain, and the Berlin Wall are all fair game in their songwriting. Sweet vocal harmonies draw listeners in adding that high lonesome country sound to the mix.

Comprising the core of the band are the two song-smiths Warren Murfitt (guitar and vocals), and Kate Main (upright bass and vocals). Other musicians who add their considerable musical talents on frequent occasions: are Chris Dawson-Murphy (banjo, guitar and vocals), and Matt Kennedy (mandolin and vocals). Murfitt & Main make their home on the West Coast of Canada in Vancouver.
