Michael Martin Murphy

   As many of you know, every Fall Hal Berry organizes a history celebration that includes speakers, musicians and theatrical performances. The quality of these offerings is always excellent and this last Fall was no exception. I didn't get a chance to see all of the events, but one that I did attend was a concert by Nebraskan artist Michael Murphy. This talented musician brings a mix of folk, country and traditional Native American music. He participated in a very interesting panel discussion during the afternoon but here are a few images from his concert that evening.

Michael performed with several other Native-American performers including a drum player and a traditional fancy dancer.

He is a multi-talented musician, playing guitar, keyboards, harmonica and Native American flutes.

He had a variety of interesting flutes, including a double one.


The fancy dancer was quite colorful and fit well with the spiritual quality of the music.
