Richard Murray Interview
Inside Story, Kate Stewart interviews Richard Murray. Richard is an Alt. Country artist from Northern Ireland who is influenced by the Americana movement of the 90s along with classic rock and celtic music. He was a session musician in London for many years before beginning his solo career in 2007 with my debut album Desert Wind. He also writes for TV, Film and other artists. His music has been described as Heartland Rock, tastefully arranged and well produced. Sung richly and soulfully with careful character studies.
