Acclaimed by Billboard, CNN, Rolling Stone and The New York Times, singer/guitarist/songwriter Murali Coryell is a rising force in contemporary American music. Murali is the son of jazz guitar legend Larry Coryell and author/actress Julie Coryell and grandson of TV, film and stage actress Carol Bruce. Murali has been dazzling audiences for years with passionate and dynamic live performances that always leave them wanting more.
Murali has a story that is unique and has been growing since before he was born. Held by Hendrix, lived with Santana, dinners with Miles Davis. A perennial performer at the Mustique Blues Festival AKA “Mick Jagger Island,” toured as supporting act for B.B. King , played with other heroes Buddy Guy, Delbert McClinton and Levon Helm. Has toured as a featured artist with blues artist Joe Louis Walker, jazz saxophonist Bill Evans and his father Larry Coryell. Murali recently had the honor of performing for former President Joe Biden when he received a lifetime achievement award at the Kennedy Center in Boston, Massachusetts.
The latest recording, “Soul Of A Nation,” has been years in the making. It represents a snapshot of artistic development featuring songs recorded with both his New York and Texas bands. With six original compositions and two choice cover songs, the guitar, vocals, songwriting, and the performance of the musicians capture a classic yet contemporary sound which AI could never replace.
Inspired by the unfolding events in Ukraine and the resiliency of its people, the single release of “Ukraine War Cries” written, performed and produced by Murali Coryell received an instant “like” from Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Twitter.
Since his teens, Dan Brother has been performing in venerable local blues clubs. Having shared the stage with mentors like his, it’s no wonder Dan picked up a little of everything along the way – from protest era psychedelia to straight-up blues; classic era soul to southern rock and Texas twang. Having turned all that early on-stage learning into a sound all his own, Dan’s high energy performances feature a mix of blues, soul, rock & roll, and the band accommodates, with sets that go from low-down monstrous slow blues to booty-grooving ecstatic funk.
