Biography

Signed to Stormy Forest Records by Richie Haven shortly after making his way to New York City, Murdoch had the pleasure of recording with the likes of Patrick Sky, David Blue and Richard Farina. The artist sang in several festivals, including the New York Folk Festival and the 1968 Newport Folk Festival—he even had the pleasure of performing at Carnegie Hall. The folk singer went on to write the campaign song for presidential peace candidate Eugene McCarthy.

In the 70s, Murdoch returned to Canada to live a quieter life. The former schoolteacher has since committed himself to a life of helping others, which has included careers as a schoolteacher, a firefighter, a civic councillor, a drug counsellor and a first-responder. While Murdoch has stepped away from music, his passion has remained. In 2008, he released Matters Of The Heart, which sold out.
