"

On Monday January 23rd, Ms. Murdoch will join forces with GAELYNN LEA

Gaelynn Lea released her debut record entitled "All the Roads that Lead Us Home" in November 2015. The dynamic solo album pays homage to the traditional fiddle tunes and beloved standards and also features a masterful use her Memory Man looping pedal which creates winding layers of sound underneath the familiar melodies.
