Chris Murphy

Chris Murphy

Chris began life as we all do; very small. As he became bigger he watched Paul McCartney on the telly and would say to himself "I want to be just like him!" Well, he hasn't grown up to be cute, rich and English (yet) but he does play bass guitar and sing the bulk of the lead vocals for that swingin' group, The BogaTones. He keeps everything in the groove with his solid playing and fundamental sense of the role of the bass guitar as the mortar that holds the foundation of the drums in place, supporting the rest of the band.
He gets much greater recognition as the group’s primary songwriter and most visible front man. His style in both capacities has been influenced by groups as diverse as The Beatles, The Eagles, Alabama and The Bay City Rollers. Throw in a dash of George Strait (Minus the hat) add a pinch of Don Henley (Minus the California) and you get a small composite of his musical roots. When not seen with a bass he may be found playing with one of his computers. Chris is cool and does not like to wear ties. By the way, just kidding about the Bay City Rollers.
