Murfitt & Main

Artist Website

Murfitt & Main delve deep into the traditions of country, bluegrass, and western swing, crafting original songs that blend the spirit of rural North American music with a contemporary voice. Their writing explores themes of heartbreak, honky-tonks, whiskey, unions, religion, the Canadian landscape—even the Berlin Wall—delivered with sweet vocal harmonies and a high lonesome sound.

The band is anchored by songwriters Warren Murfitt (guitar, vocals) and Kate Main (upright bass, vocals), with frequent contributions from Chris Dawson-Murphy (banjo, guitar, vocals) and Matt Kennedy (mandolin, vocals). Based in Vancouver, they continue to share their modern take on roots music along the West Coast and beyond.
