Last time he returned to the States from Australia, John Murry was so jetlagged that he fell asleep in his food. “My wife accused me of using heroin again,” he tells Samson McDougall.
Whilst here Murry will perform two intimate shows in Melbourne and Sydney to launch the release of his new EP Califorlornia.
John Murry is releasing a new EP titled Califorlornia. Release date June 16th on vinyl and digital. Listen to the first offering from the singer-songwriter’s forthcoming EP, Califorlornia.
From near-death to Dylan comparisons – the rebirth of John Murry
He came back to life after being pronounced clinically dead from a heroin overdose, and now he makes beautiful music.
He sang dark songs that were never fully grim but rather stark and direct with a layer of graciousness
Mississippi-born and raised Murry wears his turbulent history on his sleeve, but while the subject matter of his songs was often bleak his performance was starkly beautiful.
There’s a real beauty to his stuttering melodies such as the soaring Southern Sky and California.
