Bio/Intro Presenting a brand-new Band with a brand-new sound - PHILL MCMURTRY & THE NATION.

If you enjoy ROCK MUSIC with a slight twist, then this music is for you! These talented musicians bring you a very different and original sound, take will you on a journey like no other as they showcase their first rock album – KINGDOM.

The Music
Every track has been written by composer/producer Phill McMurtry. An engineer by day, he has spent the last few years’ worth of spare time in his studio busily writing, mixing, and perfecting the tracks which are now ready for your ears! This concept album is based on time travel in a parallel Universe and takes you from a century where everything and anything was destroyed for greed and wealth, through the present day where lives and relationships are challenged to create a safe and wealthy place for future generations and ends in Space in a ‘Kingdom’ where all live in a peaceful and flourishing Universe. The songs which are a mixture of lyrical and instrumental comprise of classic rock one minute to orchestral rock the next. Influenced by his classical background, Phill writes in a style of his own and creates a full orchestral score-like sound with choral harmonies and multi-instrumental accompaniments. Each song has its own story to tell with inspirational and uplifting lyrics which explore every emotion whilst transporting you through time to fix a physically and emotionally broken world.

The ‘Live’ Band
Introducing an eclectic mix of immensely talented musicians who come from all over the UK and abroad, whose paths have taken them down some amazing roads already, but now come together as 'Phill McMurtry and The Nation' to bring you this new music. All band members are artists and their experience includes a West End performer, an international vocal coach, a music director, a music teacher, a composer/producer/engineer, a supporting artist to some well-known bands, a seasoned professional and a session musician.

They are:

Alicia, Kristina & Kathryn (Vocals)
Phill (Keys/vocals)
Aron (Lead/Rhythm Guitar)
Luigi (Lead/Rhythm Guitar/vocals)
Peter (Bass Guitar)
Den (Drums)

The Now
Like many bands & musicians, we suffered a set-back in our progress during the Pandemic, but we are ready rocking now and have played many gigs already. The feedback has been fantastic considering we are completely original and there seems to be a ‘new interest’ in the music we play. Our social media is slowly taking off and we are increasing our online visibility where we are using the material we have created in more recent months. However, this may not be the best plug you’ve ever read or the industry standard one you expected to receive, but we are different, and we celebrate our uniqueness – we need to be seen and heard!

Trigger warning! So, put your headphones on for maximum effect, whack up the volume to 10 on the dial and get ready for blast-off!!! Strap yourselves in, pin your ears back and be prepared to get involved and receive a new, exciting, and very different sound!
