MICHAEL MARTIN MURPHEY COMING TO THE BARNHILL CENTER MARCH 25
The original Cosmic Cowboy, Michael Martin Murphey, is making a return visit to Brenham.
Murphey is going to perform at the Barnhill Center at the Historic Simon Theatre on Friday, March 25, at 7pm.
Murphey has a career in music that has spanned over 50 years with over 30 chart topping hits in the pop, country, western, and bluegrass genres.
He is also known for his cowboy poetry, which will be included at his upcoming concert.
Murphey’s career began in the 1970s in Austin along with artists such as Jerry Jeff Walker and Gary P. Nunn. Together, they created the “Cosmic Cowboy” movement, which drew artists like Willie Nelson to the scene, and helped birth the “Outlaw Country” movement.
He has received many awards throughout his musical career.
In April 2019, Murphey was presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 59th Annual Western Heritage Awards. The National & Western Heritage Museum honored him for producing and celebrating western music.
His most recent award was given at the christening of his “Trail of Fame” marker just outside of Billy Bob’s in Fort Worth.
Tickets to Murphey’s concert can be purchased by visiting the Barnhill Center Box Office in the Visitor Center at 111 West Main Street in Brenham, by giving them a call at 979-337-7240, or by going on-line to theBarnhillCenter.com/events.
