Major Murphy is an Indie Rock/Pop trio hailing from Grand Rapids, MI. Consisting of Jacob Bullard on vocals and guitar, Jacki Warren on vocals and bass, and Brian "Bud" Voortman on drums, their music is a blend of catchy melodies and heartfelt lyrics.
Inspired by artists such as Sam Evian, Bonny Doon, and Kevin Krauter, Major Murphy's sound is characterized by its indie sensibility and infectious hooks. Their songs have a nostalgic quality that transports listeners to another time while still feeling fresh and contemporary.
With their unique blend of rock and pop influences, Major Murphy has garnered a dedicated following. Their live performances are energetic and captivating, showcasing the band's tight musicianship and undeniable chemistry. Whether you're a fan of indie rock or simply appreciate good music, Major Murphy is an artist you won't want to miss.

Major Murphy follows up their debut long play 'No. 1' with a set of bedroom recordings archiving a time when Jacob Bullard was discovering his voice as a songwriter and the band was finding their footing within that space. Named after the house in Grand Rapids, MI that many of these songs were written and recorded in, the Lafayette EP chronicles a liminal space as the project transitioned from a stripped-down, solo project toward a three-piece rock band. The porches and walls of this house on Lafayette Avenue was a natural space for creativity and collaboration, a space where the band recorded early versions of Major Murphy standards that would eventually be taken into the studio to create their debut album. Listening to these tracks is almost like walking past the Lafayette house on a breezy Fall morning, hearing the songs spilling out the windows and down the street. Venture to peer through a window and you just might catch a glimpse of the magic.
