Greg Murphy

After nearly forty years of musical and personal camaraderie, drummer and producer Bob Christina began studio work with Matt "Guitar" Murphy on what would become Murphy's final project. After he passed in June of 2018, the fate of the unfinished project was placed in Christina's hands. He began outreach to musicians who were friends of Murphy, played with him, or were otherwise influenced by him. The response was overwhelming.

Preacher is a six piece rock band from Glasgow/Ayr in the United Kingdom that’s been making quite a name for themselves thanks to their stunning live shows and studio albums. The band is made up of Martin Murphy (Lyrics, Vocals, Guitar); Arny Burgoyne (Keyboards); Greg Murphy (Lead Guitar); Iain Duncan (Drums); Gordon Munro (Bass); Ron Rodgers (Acoustic Guitar) and they are often joined for live performances on home turf with the fabulous backing duo of Angela Bell and Kerry McWhinnie. Preacher’s distinctive sound is a sparkling blend of melodic rock and classic rock with subtle hints of Bowie and Floyd thrown in for good measure. Their stunning debut album Signals in many ways paid homage to the classic conceptual approach of crafting an album based around a single theme or ‘concept’ championed by bands such as Pink Floyd, Yes and King Crimson in their heyday and more recently with the likes of Radiohead opting for a similar aesthetic.
