Bruce Murdoch  

Bruce Murdoch was born in Montreal in 1947. He recorded his first songs for Electra Records in 1965: "The Singer Songwriter Project", was a collectors' item for a while, mostly because David Blue, Pat Sky and Richard Farina were on it. He did another record entitled "33 1/3 Revolutions Per Minute" for Stormy Records in 1970 (or so). In 1980, he recorded for RCI and the result was "Bruce Murdoch", a fairly good record. Sharon & Bill, Bill Staines, Penny Lang  (among others) have recorded his songs. He has lived in Alberta since 1977, with two years out to teach in the Northwest Territories.

Bruce surprised his audience last year at the festival with a c/d that just came off the press.   “Matters of the Heart” is still being talked about as one of the finest to have come along in many years for folk lovers.  Many folks are thrilled to hear that he is returning.  Maybe, he has more surprises in store.
