Murphy Campbell
A fast rising star within the traditional folk community, Murphy Campbell is a ballad singer and old time banjo player with deep roots in Western North Carolina.
A contemporary clawhammer banjoist rooted in the influences of the Toe River valley, she has developed a playing style that speaks to those familiar and unfamiliar with old time.
With a bold but memorably sweet voice that demands the ear listens, Murphy has preserved countless ballads from her family tree; over a dozen ballads from her ancestors recorded within a historic Mitchell county church under a mile from where her family settled hundreds of years ago.
Performed with complete love and admiration for those who came before and complemented by her signature low tuned gut string banjo, it demonstrates that youth is not the age of her soul.
"Campbell is a powerhouse on the banjo, not flashy or virtuoso, but with a natural feel for this music. It courses through her veins" - Roots World.
