Murray’s new 2017 release “Love Can’t Tell Time” on True North Records is the result of learning a whole new language on the guitar while living in Italy. It is a labour of love with brilliant string arrangements by Drew Jurecka. As Murray says “While the world gets noisier, I just keep getting quieter.”
He is happily married to Denise Donlon and they have a son so Murray continues with what he thinks is his most important job: being a dad.
‘Love Can’t Tell Time’ is Murray’s eighteenth album. Through these collection of songs, Murray celebrates his love of playing guitar. While living in Italy in 2013, he rediscovered this joy. This album was recorded simply, live off the floor.
In addition to 36 concert appearances in 2018, Murray was pleased to be given the Governor General’s Performing Arts Award at a gala presentation spanning Rideau Hall, Canada’s parliament and the National Arts Center, where Murray appeared on stage with Blackie and the Rodeo Kings in a rousing version of Down By the Henry Moore. If that wasn’t enough, his much loved Child’s Song, sung by Tom Rush, was featured in the hit NBC TV show “This Is Us”.
As we move into 2019, Murray is off to Vietnam for inspiration and getting ready for another Voices That Care concert on April 25th at the Glenn Gould Theater in Toronto. This annual concert will feature Jann Arden this year as well as Murray, Laila Biali, and a stellar cast.
And of course, there will be more concerts.
