The Murphy Brothers are John and Danny Murphy. Born and raised in Columbus, Indiana, they began playing early - at ages 10 and 5 respectively. Danny started out on the ukelele and John on the guitar.

They have always been interested in all musical styles. This love of music led them both to study it in college. John got his degree in Composition at the University of South Florida, while Danny studied Classical Guitar at Indiana University. The brothers performed together for half a dozen years in Florida before moving to Nashville in 1983.

Always on the back burner were their own instrumental pieces, composed over their years of playing together. Finally, in 2001 the Brothers recorded Rubies live at Hummingbird Studios on Music Row in Nashville. The subtle dynamic nuances and extraordinary togetherness of their playing are the culmination of almost 40 years of music making.
