Catch Murphy At IBMA With Our NEW DVD Release
Murphy will be in Raleigh, NC for the IBMA World of Bluegrass from Sept 26 through Oct 1. Catch her at the Murphy Method booth in the exhibit hall all week. She'll have the new CD, ALL of our DVDs, as well as 
our newest DVD FOLK SONGS FOR BANJO!
It focuses on singing simple folk songs while doing basic rolls on the banjo. In one way, it's easy, but if you've never sung while playing banjo, this DVD opens up a whole new world. How do you get the rolls to fit the words? We explain the chords then sing with banjo and guitar. Great for complete newbies too, as we go over the basics to start with. Songs are taught and sung in both G (for low voices) and C (for high voices). We also explain using a capo! And give you upgrades to the basic rolls. Great songs for singing around the campfire!
First Music Video from the Album
Check out the first music video from the new CD below. This is the title song, "When My Momma Sang To Me," featuring Murphy's sister Nancy Pate on lead vocal (tenor on the chorus), Casey Henry on banjo and singing lead on the chorus, and Christopher Henry playing mandolin, guitar, bass, and singing baritone on the chorus.
When My Momma Sang To Me music video
And, as always, our complete line of DVDs, downloads, custom lessons, books, and CDs is available on our website.
