The Chris & Sandy Show With Minnie Murphy


Listen Later

We had a great conversation with Minnie Murphy on The Chris & Sandy Show. We talked about many things from family, music, sacrifices, she told some great stories to a whole lot more!

Born in Seattle and surrounded by her talented musical family, Minnie’s style was uniquely developed by listening to her mother’s jazz records, her father’s Celtic country style, and her Australian sister, Jamie O’Neal's country-rock hits. She is a remarkable vocal stylist who truly defies genres and artist comparison. Minnie was a signed Sony writer at the age of 17, where her musical roots first developed. For over a decade, she has been in Nashville, working as a writer and recording demos. She's currently a staff writer at Evergreen, where she's been represented for the past six years, and where she wrote her upcoming single, "Get Over It" alongside Don Bedell and Trafton Harvey.

In 2018, Minnie faced some personal struggles; however, the tides changed for her after having a baby in 2020. Becoming a mother reignited her passion and vision and has led her to record and release new music, which I believe is fresh and unlike any other during this time. Minnie’s new single is reflective, and delivers a potent mix of classic traditional country along with her unique musical ability to bring passion and real deal emotion to life, both vocally or instrumentally.

In Minnie's words - about the song:

"I wrote this song with Don Bedell and Trafton Harvey and co-produced it with Jon Conley. We wanted to lyrically express coping with heartbreak, touching upon self-destructive choices made impulsively with consequential disregard. The style is retro, with lots of steel guitar and a sincere, melodic vocal. I think everyone at one time or another has felt restless, lonely, impulsive, and self-destructive due to heartbreak. That moment when we make choices we know will only make things worse, but we are just looking for that instant relief, and choosing to deal with the consequences later, is very relatable to me. One of my favorite psychologists, Caroline Myss, said we all share the self-saboteur archetype. Sometimes, it takes a lot of wrestling with ourselves and repeating the same mistakes until we begin to discipline our dark sides. Country music has always bravely revealed real-life struggles in this way, and the beauty of it all to me is that once you hear the raw personal story as a song, someone else can relate, and the healing begins. It lets us know we're not alone. Music helps to trivialize our dramas because if you can sing about it, you can 'Get Over It.’"
