Joe Murphy has been a cornerstone of the East Coast blues scene for 40 years. Starting his career with Dutch Mason in 1972, he played on Dutchie’s last album and Garrett Mason’s Juno-winning “I’m Just A Man.”

His Water Street Blues Band has backed legends like Otis Rush and Pinetop Perkins. With five albums and a 21-year blues matinee at Your Father’s Moustache, Joe remains a vibrant force in Canadian blues music.
