Orville Murphy and Jerry Middaugh |
Orville Murphy
Vocals and Harmonica
| Born and raised in Kentucky in a family where everyone played an instrument or sang. He learned to tell stories from Uncle Jim and how to play the harmonica from his Grandma (Gospels and Hymns) and, when Grandma wasn’t listening, his Aunt Virginia (Blues). Those were the “Good Ole’ Days” of Prohibition, the Great Depression, Hoboes and Fire and Brimstone on Sundays. A lot to sing about. |

Stephen Kayser
Singer-Songwriter, Guitar
I got my first guitar, a $25 nylon-string, on Christmas eve, 6th grade. That night, I learned 3 chords and wrote a song. Music has been my creative companion ever since... leaning towards songs of deeper emotion. I'm honored to share the History House stage with Alan Ehrlich, an accomplished and smooth singer, guitarist and composer. In addition to our solo offerings, we'll undoubtedly collaborate on a few tunes.

Jerin Falkner
Singer-Songwriter
There is nothing wrong with the girl next door unless she writes like the devil and sings like a siren. Since 2004, Jerin Falkner has released three independent albums and written over fifty songs. Her five-year plan is to A) drink a lot of coffee, B) get signed to a label that is both classy and sassy, and C) feel pretty and witty and bright. So far, she has accomplished both A and C with minimal effort and is focusing her remaining energy on B. |
