Elliott grew up in nearby Garden City, started playing the guitar at 12 years old and with his band The Rapscallions he won the 1966 New York State Battle of the Bands. He began writing songs while singing on the streets of Europe in 1971 and returned to New York after a brief stay in San Francisco to secure a record contract with Polydor Records. His debut album AQUASHOW (1973) was a huge critical success landing on many "best of" lists for the year and feature stories on Murphy appeared in Rolling Stone, Newsweek and The New Yorker. Follow up albums LOST GENERATION (1975), NIGHT LIGHTS (1976) and JUST A STORY FROM AMERICA (1977) received equal acclaim. Special guests included Mick Taylor, Billy Joel, Phil Collins. His music was post-Dylan poetic rock heavily influenced by New York's Velvet Underground and propelled by Murphy's driving electric guitar and harmonica. By both choice and necessity he went independent with the release of the EP AFFAIRS (1980) that sold well in Europe and set the stage for the successful MURPH THE SURF (1982). In 1985 the Jerry Harrison (Talking Heads) produced MILWAUKEE began his long relationship with New Rose Records in France. By this time Murphy was touring Europe constantly and finally moved to Paris in 1989 where he continues to live with his wife and son. SELLING THE GOLD (1985) featured a duet with Bruce Springsteen, long-time friend, who often has invited him on stage during his European shows.
