Murph n Turk was formed by Don "Turk" Schnars in 2002 from the desire to present quality live classic music covering many of your favorite bands and artists, acoustic style. He wanted to maintain delivery quality, be as versatile as possible, and present the material with dynamic finesse. Together, he and Murph can play nice-n-easy for just plain good listening pleasure or pound the strings right off those guitars and sing with fiery passion and flare. Although relatively new as two piece, they have a long history of live performing experience with other acts and with each other.
