Kathy Murray

Kathy Murray needs no introduction to Austin’s musically faithful. Murray developed her vision of the blues in the formative days of the Austin music scene, jamming with luminaries like Stevie Ray Vaughan, W.C. Clark, and members of the Fabulous Thunderbirds. A blues singer and songwriter par excellence, she first burst on the Austin music scene with her early band Kathy and the Kilowatts, wowing audiences with a tremendous live show, and sharing the stage with everyone from Albert Collins to Koko Taylor.

Murray has won the Australian Blues Association’s "Chain Award" for Australian Song of the Year with the Kate Meehan Band’s recording of Murray’s original song, “Call Me Mrs. Blues”. Listen/look for soulful Austin singer Toni Price's recent cover of Murray's "Bird in the Hand," a spicy blues with a hypnotic riff. Her current CD, "Relatively Blue" is getting radio airplay across Texas and beyond.
