Andrew Murray Biography.
Andrew was born and reared on the island of Inishbofin, Co. Galway, Ireland.
He came to the attention of the public at large as a result of being asked to join
the famous Galway based group, De Dannan, in 1997/98. Until that time, his ability as a
singer was known by a relatively small group of people who lived on, or visited, Inishbofin.
Among that group of people, however, were many well known musicians. Alec Finn, of De Dannan,
being one of them, met and heard Andrew singing at a session in the Murray family hotel, The Doonmore Hotel.
Soon after that
Andrew joined De Dannan as their new vocalist, replacing Tommy Fleming.
In the years since then, Andrew has travelled the world with De Dannan and others.
He has toured in China twice, The United States and the UK many times and most countries in Europe
as well as the four corners of Ireland. He has shared the stage with some of the greats
of Irish music and has performed with many of them.
Those who have heard him won't find that strange, as his warm, deep, resonant voice,
described as being like
' a blend of warm tar and brown sugar', is instantly recognisable
and '... inspires the audience to hang on his every word'.
With the launch of his first solo CD, Hell or High Water, Andrew is set to take his singing to a
greater audience, an audience you will want to be part of. He performs regularly, both solo
and lately as vocalist with the exciting young Irish group, Slide.
