Details:
Patrick Gray Massachusetts Music Man,; Songs and stories of the Berkshire Hills Massachusetts. A book due out soon about Massachusetts and the songs that relate to the many national historical landmarks.
Patrick Sr. is a folk singer songwriter with strong Country and 60’s influence, much like Van Morrison, Many of the songs on this album are of actual life happenings, Help me Make it Lord is pretty much a theme song. Many of the others deal with actual National Historical landmarks in Massachusetts, and around the World. There are actually about 300 songs written by Patrick and his son Patrick Jr. is a singer songwriter in his own right. Patrick Sr. started the jpmurphy Band back in the early 90’s with son Patrick and performed at Finnegans Pub at Universal studios in Orlando Florida.
Gray performs lead vocals, rhythm guitar, banjo, mandolin or the occasional harmonica, while his son, Patrick Gray Jr. of Florida, plays guitar and sings vocals. Longtime family friend, and cousin, Michael Burdick of Petersburgh, N.Y., plays electric drums, sings vocals and occasionally plays the bodhran, a traditional Celtic goat-skin drum. Guest fiddlers Fred Lantz of Bennington, Vt., often round out the group, performing traditional and popular Irish tunes as well as original compositions influenced by the Irish music tradition, folk favorites and songs that celebrate New England pride. www. https://www.tradebit.com which album will also be uploaded shortly to C.D. Baby.
Among Gray Sr.''s 300-some original songs about the state are "Make It In Massachusetts," which was proclaimed a gift to the state in the early 1980s by then-Gov. Michael Dukakis and adapted as a marketing jingle, and his "In the Tunnel," named the theme song of the Hoosac Tunnel in 1979 by then-Gov. Edward King. His other compositions include "The Spirit of Massachusetts," "The Blue Hills of Massachusetts," "The Spirit of Springfield" (commissioned by the city of Springfield for its tri-centennial celebration) and a reworking of "The Patriots Game." That traditional Irish tune, commemorating the death of Irish Republican Army hero Fergal O''Hanlan in 1956, became the rallying cry for the New England football team''s first attempt at a Super Bowl win in 1986.
The song hasn''t yet been performed at a New England Patriots'' game, but "I sing it at the TV when the Patriots are playing," Gray said with a grin.
But come mid-March, Irish favorites are what the band''s is all about!
