Murphy has had two songs go to #1 on the National Radio Hits and Independent Music Network charts, and has a third song, Cowgirls, steadily climbing toward that same achievement. It’s no wonder Murphy and his songs are winning so many awards.

After 16 years of working together writing songs and producing music, the EP Peace Be With You has been a labor of love for Murphy and his co-producer Jeff Silverman (www.palettemusic.net). A movie-ready remix of the track, “Peace Be With You” has been submitted for consideration for the 59th Grammy Awards, and Murphy’s band, Big Coyote, has put love and passion into this project with every note they have played.

The “Peace Be With You” video is a warm, inviting performance piece that showcases Chuck and the band in their element. Set up in a cozy country studio, the wood panels and large beams in the ceiling create an atmosphere that fits the no-frills approach to Chuck Murphy and his band. Fans of shows like Live From Daryl’s House will appreciate the intimacy and natural camera work at play here. The simple approach leaves plenty of room for the song to be the star of the show, it’s message sure to resonate.
