Event information

Another fantastic double bill at The Oxted Sessions, bringing together US violinist/singer-songwriter Chris Murphy; and Australian country/folk duo The Weeping Willows.

Born and raised in New York, Chris Murphy is a vibrant violinist, singer-songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist now based in Los Angeles. He performs over 200 concerts annually across the USA, The Netherlands, France, and the UK. His original songs explore themes of love, loss, redemption, hope, and fear. Murphy describes his music as a “live film score,” offering listeners a journey into his world. Renowned for his proficiency across genres, from Jazz and Classical to Folk, World Music, and Ambient, his performances are both charismatic and engaging, drawing in his audience to make them feel elevated. As Rootstime notes— “Murphy is a master and a craftsman on his instruments…” promising memorable and captivating shows.

3 x CMAA (Country Music Association Awards) ‘Golden Guitar’, 2 x Australian Folk Music and Music Victoria Award winners, The Weeping Willows (Laura Coates and Andrew Wrigglesworth) are a couple of old souls, steeped in Bluegrass tradition and draped in Gothic Americana imagery. They regale their audiences with stories of sunshine and romance, God and The Devil, murder and decay.

The last 5 years have seen The Weeping Willows nominated for heaps of awards, including 14x CMAA Awards and 7 x Australian Folk Music Awards, alongside receiving critical acclaim
“…a mature, courageous and beguiling experience.” – No Depression (USA)
“…stunning acoustic guitar work, heavenly harmonies, and a haunting melody rooted in American Gothic.” – Pop Matters (USA)
