“Campbell is a powerhouse on the banjo, not flashy or virtuoso, but with a
natural feel for this music. It courses through her veins.” – Roots World
Murphy Campbell is a ballad singer and old time banjo player with deep roots
in Western North Carolina. Having just released her debut EP “Murphy
Campbell” last year and her upcoming album Revenant set to be released this
winter, she is a fast rising star within the traditional community.
A contemporary clawhammer banjoist rooted in the influences of the Toe River
valley, Murphy has developed a playing style that speaks to those familiar and
unfamiliar with old time. With a bold but memorably sweet voice that
demands the ear listens, Murphy has preserved countless ballads from her
family tree.
Murphy’s debut album Revenant is an act of preservation; over a dozen
ballads from her ancestors recorded within a historic Mitchell county church
under a mile from where her family settled hundreds of years ago. Performed
with complete love and admiration for those who came before and
complemented by her signature low tuned gut string banjo, it demonstrates
that Murphy’s age of 19 is not the age of her soul.
Murphy has played Scruggs Fest, FolkFest, MerleFest and has opened for the
likes of Molly Tuttle and Chatham Rabbits.

“Murphy Campbell is on a mission to preserve the sound of Yancey and
Mitchell counties. It’s also the sound of her family.” – Blue Ridge Public Radio
