Rob Murphy is a singer-songwriter from Cape Breton Island known for his raspy vocals and heart-on-the-sleeve lyrics. His raspy, weathered vocal style reveals influences from the likes of Johnny Reid, Jason Isbell, Blue Rodeo, and The Band. Originating from the small town of New Waterford, there is a strong history of songwriting and storytelling in his family. Songwriting has always come naturally to Rob, who started playing guitar at the age of 10, and his ability to create songs that listeners can easily relate to comes through in his performances. In addition to his own songs, Rob’s repertoire includes an entertaining mix of acoustic rock, pop, and East Coast tunes.
