Christopher Murray is a soulful jazz and blues singer based out of Philadelphia. While influenced by artists such Al Jarreau, Nat King Cole, Rachelle Farrell, and Whitney Houston, his voice always aims to be one-of-a-kind through countless years of experience singing for church and all around Philly. In addition, he is backed by a collective band of musicians, Soul Frequency, incorporating a mix of jazz/R&B/latin and even rap/hip-hop in some performances. The band will usually range anywhere from 4-piece to 10-piece–sometimes even more–because of the wide variety of musicians of different backgrounds who each have something unique to bring to the table for each song. It's because of Murrayʼs powerful singing and the versatility of the individuals that they are able to deliver fresh, smooth, theatrical, groovy, and original takes on popular hits such as Summertime, Nature Boy, My Way, and many more. Murray & Soul Frequency always strive to perform at festivals and venues wherever they know the frequencies of souls resonate with the music the most. Even if itʼs a different crowd every performance, Murray is no stranger to always welcoming a crowd in ways they can be heartfelt by whatever happens on stage. The debut album, “Introducing Chris Murray CLASSICS featuring Gabe Preston,” will be released in January 2025, with at least two singles releasing late 2024 (“I Just Dropped By to Say Hello” on October 15th, and “My Way” in December).
