Biography
Murray resides in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, and is the nephew of Anne Murray.
In the late 1990s, along with Ruth Minnikin and Matt Mays, Murray formed The Guthries. They released two albums, Off Windmill in 2000, and the self-titled The Guthries in 2002. The band toured extensively throughout Canada and the UK. Following the release of their second album, the band members each began pursuing solo projects, and have not released another Guthries album.
Murray released his first solo album, Brighter Lives, Darker Side, in 2005.
In 2005, Murray, Nathan Lawr, Ryan Bishops, Ruth Minnikin and Kate Maki participated in two national concert tours, A Midautumn Night's Dream and A Midwinter Night's Dream, which were reportedly inspired by Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue. The five musicians also recorded limited edition albums for sale on each tour.
In late 2005, Murray became a member of Cuff the Duke. In 2008, Murray toured extensively with Cuff the Duke acting as Hayden's backing band.
