Manteo Murphy Was Everything and More

Manteo Murphy was everything and more and that's why I have had them play for family weddings, anniversaries, funerals and house concerts. They played "our" kind of music such as The Eagles, Springstein, The Beatles, etc. and some wonderful originals! They can play just about any request! Great group of guys, but totally professional leaving "no stress" on the host. I would not hesitate recommending Manteo Murphy!

Harmony and musicianship

These fellows bring special excitement to any event - casual, fun, and expert at singing, keyboards and guitars, they'll keep things moving with great harmony the likes of Crosby, Stills & Nash, songs such as those by Allman Brothers, Pure Prairie League and get up and dance tunes like Twist and Shout. We're looking to hire them for a third engagement! Check their website at manteomurphy.com

Fantastic experience from start to finish.

Our experience with Manteo Murphy for our granddaughter's wedding was without question from initial planning/discussions through the wedding itself totally stress free. They were extremely cooperative, offering creative suggestions, a large eclectic playlist, a friendly, helpful, and professional command of the situation at a time when said attention was most needed. Quite frankly, Manteo Murphy proved the hit of the evening and has been remarked upon and remembered as one of the highlights of a beautiful wedding. For this, we are most thankful and would certainly recommend them without exception for other similar events.

I am honored to represent this group of seasoned musicans. They have between them decades of experience, from folk rock, classic rosk, Americana, country rock, southern rock, bluegrass and originals. They impress with their harmonies, guitar work and repertoire, and their ability to provide their clients with "their" music choices.

If this is your kind of music, Manteo Murphy is your band!
