The Murphy Beds: Irish Music from New York
Folksingers Eamon O'Leary and Jefferson Hamer perform traditional music as "The Murphy Beds."
- Eamon O'Leary, one half of The Murphy Beds duo, started playing Irish music while growing up in Dublin, Ireland. When he moved to New York City in the early 90s, he immersed himself in the city's traditional music scene and travelled widely, performing with many of the great players in Irish music. He has performed in groups such as The Alt with John Doyle and Nuala Kennedy and The Immigrant Band with John Doyle, John Herrmann, and Rafe and Clelia Stefanini, as well as solo. O'Leary and Hamer have been performing together for some years now, having first met at Irish sessions in New York City.
- Jefferson Hamer, one half of the duo The Murphy Beds, is a guitarist and singer based in Brooklyn, NY. In 2013, he and songwriter Anais Mitchell won a BBC Radio 2 Folk Award for Child Ballads, a collection of new adaptations of English and Scottish folk songs. He also performs with Cambridge, Massachusetts roots rock ensemble, Session Americana. Jefferson and Eamon have been performing together for some years now, having first met at Irish sessions in New York City.
