We are excited to welcome back the Murali Coryell Band!
Murali Coryell has a story that is unique and has been growing since before he was born. Held by Hendrix, lived with Santana, dinners with Miles Davis, opened for B. B. King, played with Buddy Guy: Murali Coryell is an artist that defies category.
The latest CD release "Mr. Senator" is described by Guitar Player Magazine as "delightfully bluesy rock and soul". American Blues Scene has praised "Mr. Senator" as a "Timely Album" as it tackles political issues of today.
Acclaimed by Billboard, CNN, Rolling Stone, & The New York Times, singer/guitarist/songwriter Murali Coryell is a rising force in contemporary American music.
He is the son of jazz guitar legend Larry Coryell and author/actress Julie Coryell, and the grandson of TV, film and stage actress Carol Bruce. Murali has been dazzling audiences for years with passionate and dynamic live performances that always leave them wanting more. He is a fully realized artist in complete control of a voice with soul to burn and the tastiest of guitar chops.
Murali has an affinity for languages and culture. He speaks French, Spanish, and Russian, and has performed in Europe, Russia, Lebanon, Panama, Australia and the Caribbean.
In addition to performing his own original music, Murali has covered the songs of:
- Sam Cooke
- Al Green
- Jimi Hendrix
- Muddy Waters
- Charles Mingus
- Marvin Gaye
The 1999 recording "2120", co-produced by Marshall Chess, paid tribute to the Chess Chicago blues classics. Another milestone CD was the 2009 release "Sugar Lips" with Grammy winning producer Tom Hambridge. Murali's voice and guitar have been heard on NBC's "Crossing Jordan".
Murali Coryell has been inducted into the New York Blues Hall Of Fame and was a 2014 BMA nominee for DVD of the year.
Murali Coryell is excited about his latest release "Mr. Senator" and can’t wait to see where this record takes him next. Murali Coryell continues to take The Blues forward and not be content to stay in one place.
