STEFAN MURPHY IS A LAZY BASTARD..AND OTHER COLD HARD FACTS

Having started up this blog in good faith its come to my attention that i havent bothered my arse with it since the 23rd of September last year. So, my friends, from a band-apartment in Bamberg [Bavaria, Germany] im gonna attempt to get it going again. HERE GOES!!

I cant even begin to remember what i have been up to since we last spoke but things have been ushering themselves forward in the usual fashion. There was a short acoustic tour in the US in October taking in some great solo shows in Chicago, Pittsburgh, New York and Philadelphia. A really nice holiday followed this including some quality time with family in Atlanta GA and the wedding of one of my dearest friends in Las Vegas too. Ive also had another little run in Germany since the last as well as gigs in England and Ireland. As 2009 became 2010 the band and I had a great little tour with GRINGO BANDIDO [Halden, Norway] around Ireland including some of our favourite haunts. I look forward to hooking up with the Gringo boys later this month when we return to Norway, and if i can manage to keep up the blogging ill tell you all about it.

Right, back to the present. Im in Bamberg, Germany, its snowing like hell, but a beautiful sight to behold. im 3 dates into another solo acoustic tour, things are going well. I have my good buddy Michael Langewender as tour-manager and spiritual guru. Driving conditions are bad but the mood is upbeat. An overview of the tout looks like this so if you know of anybody who is in or near any of the locations please tell them to come down and say hello.
