Plan  Series Of Acoustic Shows In Fall

ATLANTA, Georgia — Hit songwriter / artists Jonathan Edwards and Michael Martin Murphey have announced a series of acoustic shows —  sharing the stage and trading stories and songs — beginning in September.
Both artists first hit the Pop charts with songs like “Wildfire” and “Sunshine” in the 70s and have since built strong followings across the country. 

 
Among the stops on the tour:
 
Sept. 9        Chicago, IL    Old Town School of Folk Music
Oct. 12        Barre, VT    The Barre Opera House
Oct. 13        Plymouth, NH     Flying Monkey
Oct. 14        Shirley, MA    Bull Run Concert Series
Oct. 17        Kent, OH     Kent Stage
Oct. 18        Syracuse, NY    Palace Theater
Oct. 19        Jim Thorpe, PA    Mauch Chunk Opera House
Oct. 21        New Hope, PA     Havana Club
 
Since he emerged as the writer of the hit Monkees’ song, “What Am I Doin’ Hangin’ Round,” Murphey has topped the Pop charts (“Wildfire,” “Carolina In The Pines”), the Country Charts (“Long Line of Love,” “What’s Forever For”) and the Western charts (his latest release, Tall Grass & Cool Water, is currently sitting  on top of the charts).  A recepient of six gold albums, Murphey’s most recent Grammy nomination was for his 2009 Buckaroo Blue Grass album.

Edwards remains one of the premiere troubadours of the past 40 years, who debuted in many hearts and minds with the 1971 release of his hit single, “Sunshine,” the first gold record for then-fledgling Capricorn Records. His debut album for Capricorn and subsequent releases on Atlantic Records and other labels (including his own imprint), showcased the Virginia-raised artist’s country, folk and bluegrass influences and demonstrated his penchant for writing songs of both honesty and poignancy.  Edwards’ latest album is My Love Will Keep.
