BIOGRAPHY:

Maureen Murphy grew up in a small town on Cape Cod, Massachusetts.  She knew from an early age that she wanted to sing and live her life around music. She began developing her skills as the lead soloist in her hometown church, while building a strong and loyal fan base and showcasing her unique and dynamic abilities at numerous local performances. In 1996 Maureen was awarded a rare Music Talent Scholarship at Berklee College of Music in Boston, where she continued her music education and honed her craft through private instruction, frequent live performances and long hours in the recording studio.

Since moving to Nashville Maureen has become a staple on the local club scene performing to standing room only crowds of enthusiastic fans, and admiring musicians, from whom she has gained high regard, and respect for her talents.  Many have heard Maureen’s jaw dropping performances of the National Anthem for the Nashville Predators.  Maureen has also caught the attention of other recording artists, having performed with the likes of John Mayer, Shawn Mullins, Will Hoge, The Boston Symphony, and The Nashville Symphony.
