Welcome
Good Life
Thanks for landing here! Here's a soundtrack for your Barb Murphy Music website explorations. If you sign up to my monthly newsletter I'll send you a free track called “Freakshow on Parade” … dedicated to anyone who feels a little different from the rest.
Summer Is Here
and I'm excited to play!
Send me an email if you have a backyard, living room, festival or any other place where I can serve up music- flying solo or with my magical music friends- and help us all remember what we're here for: CONNECTION.

Allow me to introduce myself
I'm Barb Murphy, a Folk/Rock singer-songwriter based in San Francisco. Some folks around here just call me Barb.
I blend my favorite parts of folk, country, rock, and blues into original music that I sing, sometimes solo and sometimes with my magical music friends. You can also find me singing cover songs under the name "Call Me, Barb" and with the not-so-ordinary trio, Ricky Bobby.
Through my songwriting, I love to explore the beauty of friendship, the intricacies of love and loss and the wonder and curiosity we each possess that drives us forward into the unknown.
Life is a series of fabulous surprises and impossible challenges, and music helps us navigate the heartaches, face the doubts, chase the dreams and embrace the whole mess with style. I hope my music sings you into a better mood, lifts your spirits or serves as the soundtrack for whatever it is you need to feel.
