• Biography
Shaun Murphy was born in Omaha, Nebraska, lived with her family as a child in Omaha and then in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, prior to moving to Detroit, Michigan in high school.
She is best described as a blue-eyed soul singer. She teamed with several all female bands at a very early age, and performed in venues such as Detroit's historic Grande Ballroom, prior to being noticed by an employee of Motown Records in a touring theater production along with Texas native Meat Loaf. The two were signed by Rare Earth Records, a division of Motown Records as Stoney and Meatloaf. The pairing was short-lived, and became defunct, as a decision of Motown management. Only Murphy was retained under contract after the breakup of the duo.
In September 1993, Murphy joined Little Feat, hired as a lead singer replacing Craig Fuller. Murphy is quoted as saying that she took no one's place, nor would she, as a lead singer with Little Feat. Murphy left the band at the end of February 2009, after 16 years' tenure and over 1,400 live appearances.
She is now pursuing her blues and soul solo project. In September 2009 she released the album Livin' The Blues with The Shaun Murphy Band.
