Matt "Guitar" Murphy

Bluesman Matt 'Guitar' Murphy was a standout musician with a big heart. His family is, without any doubt, very proud of Matt. My wife and I met him at The House of Blues in Atlanta during the '96 Olympic Games. We were preparing to leave the club when Matt approached and asked us to stay because he was about to go onstage.

In this trying time more than ever we need to rely on our Heavenly Father. Knowing that we can pray to him anytime, because he is the "....Hearer of Prayer.."

It always gave me great joy to hear you sing! I grew up listening to the blues in Chicago. Thank you. RIP...

Mr. Matt Murphy:
You were the greatest blues player of your time. RIP

My sympathy goes out to family, friends, and fans of such a dear loved one, Mr. Matt "Guitar" Murphy. May fond memories of a life well lived bring a measure of peace and comfort. Romans 15:13.
