Folk Music Society of NY to Welcome The Murphy Beds, 3/20

The Folk Music Society of NY presents the Murphy Beds, folk duo, March 20, 2015, 8:00PM in Manhattan. The Murphy Beds (Jefferson Hamer and Eamon O'Leary) offer up traditional and original folk songs with close harmonies and deft instrumental arrangements on bouzouki, guitar, and mandolin.

Eamon came by Irish music naturally, growing up in Dublin. He relocated to New York City in the 90's, immersing himself in the traditional music scene. He travels widely, performing with many of the great players in Irish music and teaches at many traditional music programs in the US.

Jefferson and songwriter Anais Mitchell won a BBC Radio 2 Folk Award for their 2013 cd, Child Ballads, new adaptations of English and Scottish folk songs. Acoustic Guitar magazine wrote, "A gifted guitarist and singer, Hamer is able to hit close harmonies... and weave gorgeous instrumental lines." http://www.murphybedsmusic.com.
