About, Shaun Murphy ➥http://www.shaunmurphyband.com/ I found my way to the Blues stage at the first Ann Arbor Blues Fest, and was completely smitten. Getting to play at such an important milestone festival had my head spinning. That was my awakening to the Blues, and I couldn’t have been among a better line-up: Son House, Muddy Waters, BB King, Freddy King, Lightnin’ Hopkins, and the list went on and on.
Solidified into the Detroit music scene, I found my calling, but it was to be a bit illusive, while I continued my music education over the years, I was also free to pursue another of my loves, acting, where I was able to snag two different life changing musical plays: Hair and Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band On The Road, appearing in both of the Broadway productions. Having been in Hair afforded me the opportunity to land a recording contract with Motown Records, along with Meatloaf, to record the our duo album Stoney And Meatloaf. I found myself back in Feat camp, and they asked me to join as a full member in 93’, and for the next nearly 16 years, it was my home. Till recently parting with my long time cohorts, I then realized, I’d come full circle back to where I started, in the world of the Blues, wanting to take my place along side some of my favorite idols; Koko Taylor, Etta James, Big Mama Thornton, and Big Maybelle, paying special homage to Miss Taylor and Miss James on my first solo CD, Livin’ The Blues.
I’ve had the honor of including some of my friends from the road on my following CD’s: Bekka Bramlett, (Fleetwood Mac) Mike Finnigan, (Taj Mahal, & Bonnie Raitt) Johnny Neel, (Allman Bros.) Jim Horn, (George Harrison, Elvis, etc.) Kenny Greenberg, (Kenny Chesney) Danny Pelfrey, (Aretha, Diana Ross, etc.) and Laura Creamer, Barbara Payton, as well as the Motor City Horns (Bob Seger).
Now coming off my sweep of the 2013 Bluesblast Music Awards with Best Female Blues Artist Of The Year, and Best Contemporary Blues Album Of The Year for my release of Ask For The Moon, an honor I'm so thrilled to receive, I've now released a new CD: Cry For Love, featuring some of my favorite songs I've been wanting to do for a long, long time.

Lyrics: I Know Why The Sun Don't Shine
Every mornin' when the sun is so low
Sit there thinkin, ' watchin' the river flow
You ask yourself, how can a flower grow?
But all you feel is the cold wind blow
Lift your head and see the birds in the sky
To be so free, just lift your wings and fly
To be so low, ain't the way it should be
You took the child, and parted company
I know why, I know why the sun don't shine
Girl you turned around and left me
For them big bright city lights
Packed your bag and went over the hill
You never stopped to think, how it would make me feel
You come back and say your sky is gray and your heart is blue
You never understood what it takes to be true
Oh, I know why, I know why the sun don't shine
Girl you turned around and left me
For the big bright city lights
Yeah, so go on, go on baby, do what you're gonna do
You'll break a dozen hears before you're through
Ain't no use sayin' your sky is gray and your heart is blue
Everything's gone, everything we ever knew
I know why, I know why the sun down shine
Yeah I know why, I know why.
