Gus the Bardic Troubadour

"Traditional and Modern Irish Folk Music"

 

 

 

A displaced hero from another world, Gus the Bard, has come to regale, inspire, and enthrall audiences with his spirited Irish Folk music.

Tricked by a Leprechaun, Gus was given a Magic Tome™ that could hold any song he wished to learn. But the contract pulled him into our world, never to see his home again.

Even though adventurers are few and far between in this strange new land, he did not let his situation deter him! He hiked up his kilt, tuned his guitar, and came out to this new world, reborn as Gus the Bardic Troubadour! 

 

Chris Murphy, aka Gus the Bardic Troubadour, is a one-man-band; enthralling audiences with a spirited mix of Traditional and Modern Irish Folk music since 2010.

He also performs covers of crowd favorites, as well as what he calls Pub Covers; popular songs, but with an Irish twist.

He is a card-carrying member of the Minnesota Music Coalition. He has been seen playing at local venues such as The Blarney Stone, The Irish Penny, Charlie's Irish Pub, and Kip's Irish Pub. He can be seen performing every 2nd Saturday at The Dubliner Pub in St. Paul.

 He has also played large events such as The Chincoteague Blueberry Festival, The Annual O'Nancoack St. Patrick's Day Parade and Celtic Festival, The Shore-Made Music Festival, and The Minnesota Irish Festival. 

 

 

 

 

  

His first album was recorded live during the 2019 Saint Patrick's Day Celebration at the Blarney Stone Pub in Onancock, Virginia.

He continues to expand his repertoire with new songs, and always appreciates audience feedback when selecting new songs to add to his Magic Tome™.

He encourages song requests and  participation when he's performing, and loves ensuring his audiences are happy wherever he goes.
