About the Show

It can be truly said that from the moment storyteller James Murray walks out onto the stage he has an impact on his audiences. Whether making them laugh, bringing a tear to their eye, or simply bringing back some precious memories, Murray's stories strike an emotional chord with each and every person who hears them.

It has also been said that James Murray's stories flow more like a gentle stream than the raging river of today's modern world. Murray's informal stage presentation and comfortable storytelling manner just seems to invite listeners into the kitchen - where they can sit around and relax, smile, laugh, and enjoy his often humorous, sometimes poignant, and always entertaining stories.

Murray not only delights audiences with his 'one man' show, he is equally adept and comfortable sharing the stage with friends such as singer-songwriter Ted Crouch with whom he has teamed up on numerous occasions to present a unique blend of stories and songs. Murray has also worked with two time BC Interior Music Award winners Blu and Kelly Hopkins, as well as performed on stage with the likes of Valdy, Okanagan Symphony violinists Denis Letourneau and Susan Schaefer, Siri Hermanski, and folk icon Garnet Rogers.

Whether in a theatre setting, at an open-air festival, or in the common room at an senior citizen's home, James Murray has a very special ability to make each audience member feel like he is telling his story just to them.
