Murphy & the Giant is a high energy 5 piece Irish inspired folk rock band with songs on social commentary, triumph, woe, friendship and celebration. This irreverent band was formed around front man Dan O’Connor in the salt lake city area with Tanner Belnap on violin Landon Potter on drums Jesus Acosta on lead guitar and Mitch Shepard on bass. Murphy and the Giant is a fun rowdy folk rock experience for any bar or venue to drink and dance the night away to. “We’re not strangers. We’re friends you haven’t met yet!”
