MICHAEL MARTIN MURPHEY's song"Wildfire"was one of the biggest pop hits of the 70's. He returns to the WoodSongs stage with a brand new bluegrass CD called'Tall Grass&Cool Water.'It's his third album in this Grammy nominated series that explores the similarities between Bluegrass and American Cowboy Music. This"singing cowboy poet", is not only the number one, best-selling singer/songwriter of American Cowboy Music, he's one of the world's most respected singer/songwriters in the Pop and Country-Western field. Michael Martin Murphey is also a recent inductee into the Traditional Country Music Hall of Fame.

THE MASTERSONS are each deft instrumentalists, and they've spent years playing in others'bands before coming together as a unit. Both the Denton, Texas-born Eleanor Whitmore and Houston-reared Chris Masterson have been musicians for as long as they can recall. Whitmore and Masterson apprenticed for years with other musicians, she with Regina Spektor, Susan Gibson, Kelly Willis, Diana Ross, Will Hoge and others, he in the bands of Jack Ingram, Son Volt, Bobby Bare Jr. and more but found themselves compelled to write and sing together. They met in 2005 and joined Steve Earle band in May of 2011. Their debut album is"Birds Fly South"on New West Records.
