Description

Joey Murphy was born in Springfield, Missouri. He came to New York at the age of eighteen. Shortly after he arrived he joined a band called "Please". Through this band and through offshoots of this band Joey recorded albums and went on tours, U.S. and abroad. Joey's first substantial recording began at Mother West Studio in the mid 1990's. It was here that Joey recorded the music that was used in the "Pile of Things" video and the music that was used in Dean Bell's movie. Joey would perform around town on the subway platforms and sell copies of this untitled cd. Joey soon started to amplify his sound and quickly moved to the streets above. Magda Meissner discovered Joey performing on the corner of Astor Place and Lafayette, inspiring her to produce two music videos "Pile of Things" and "Hurricane". Dean Bell, who also met Joey performing on the streets used a segment of "Foul Advocate" in his movie "What Alice Found" which screened at Sundance and Tribeca film festivals (2003). Joey has scored for the Sundance Channel's "Conversations in World Cinema: Ed Harris" and has performed on bills with Morphine, Thurston Moore, and John Zorn. In 2001 Joey was introduced to Sound Engineer, George Dugan at a random session at Sonic Shop in New York. George soon moved his studio much further uptown where Joey decided to begin another recording session: a production which would last for over a year. Joey struggled between playing on the street and going into the studio to finish his first full length album, "Washington Heights Sessions". In 2005 Joey began working with Shakerleg resulting in the release of "Shakerleg V Joey Murphy", an instrumental album of a more experimental nature than "Washington Heights". Joey also released a video of a performance documented and produced by writer/cinematographer Josh Wick. In May 2006 Joey is recording his next full length album. Available soon.
