Sample site: a redesign proposal for Murphys Irish Pub, not their live website.

Live music in Murphys, every day we're open

The pub is the place for live music in Calaveras.

Jazz jams, Brazilian choro, blues bands, DJs and karaoke nights have all had a turn on our stage.

Thursday nights go back to 2018, when Anthony started a weekly music night called the Thursday Night Experiment. It has been running ever since, and kept going as a livestream through the pandemic.

The lineup changes every week. See who's playing on our Facebook page, or call and ask.
