KPL Presents Chris Murphy

Don't miss an unforgettable evening with Chris Murphy, one of Canada's most celebrated rock musicians and a founding member of Sloan. The Central Library Reading Lounge will transform into a one-of-a-kind venue for this after-hours concert. All proceeds benefit the library. Event Details: Tickets on sale Friday, October 9 at 10 a.m. Doors: 6:30 p.m. Show: 7 p.m. All ages and licensed event. Psst.. Its Chris's Birthday, and you can join the party! About the Artist Chris Murphy has been in the band Sloan for over 30 years. Chris got into the super group game in 2015 when he formed a trio called TUNS (rhymes with buns) with Matt Murphy (Super Friendz/The Flashing Lights) and Mike O’Neill (The Inbreds). Now on a supergroup kick, he formed Trans-Canada Highwaymen in 2017 with Steven Page (ex Barenakedladies), Moe Berg (The Pursuit of Happiness) and Craig Northey (Odds). Then in 2018 some of his other musician friends were complaining they weren’t in a super group so Chris went ahead and agreed to make Anyway Gang with Sam Roberts (Sam Roberts Band), David Monks (Tokyo Police Club) and Menno Versteeg (Hollerado). Please don’t ask Chris to form a group with you. He doesn’t have time. What little time Chris has left over has been earmarked for solo shows where Chris plays songs and tells stories accompanied by acoustic guitar.
