Stephen Murphy
With a rich, soulful voice and a talent for poignant storytelling, Stephen's songs resonate deeply with listeners, capturing the essence of the human experience. A native of Ireland, Stephen's musical journey began at a young age, influenced by the traditional Irish music that filled his home and the classic folk and blues records he discovered in his teenage years. This diverse musical upbringing
Ever wondered where a song actually comes from?
In this clip, I talk about the story behind The Devil's Right Hand, one of those rare songs that seemed to write itself. From old spaghetti westerns my grandfather loved to the idea of a legendary bounty hunter, it's a look behind the scenes at how one of my favourite tracks came to life.
For years, these songs lived as voice notes on my phone and scribbles in notebooks before finally becoming the album I'm so proud to share.
🎥 Watch the video and let me know what you think.
And if you want to hear The Devil's Right Hand (and plenty more) live, I'll be on stage Saturday, July 4th, at My Place, Midleton as part of The Backline Live. I'd love to see a few familiar faces there!
Who's coming? 🎶🎸🎤
A quick question, a quick answer, and a bit of Creedence 🤘
Looking forward to hitting the stage at Backline Live on 4 July in My Place Midleton, Cork
Come along for a great night of live music from some brilliant Cork artists.

It’s been awhile since A Way Back Home came into the world.
Ten songs built from late nights, road miles, blues, folk, and a bit of rock & roll spirit.
If you haven’t heard it yet (or fancy revisiting it), now’s a good time to head back home.
What track still sticks with you?
