Dave Murphy Shares New Single ‘Josephine’

New Jersey Americana artist Dave Murphy shares his brand new single Josephine, a captivating folk-country gem that paints a picture of a man acknowledging the end of a relationship through the metaphoric imagery of a bar's last call. 

 

Taken from his upcoming seventh album, A Heart So Rare (set to arrive on January 31st 2025), Josephine finds the talented artist beautifully showcasing his rich, expressive vocals and storytelling abilities over a warm and infectious blend of folk and country elements. The song's poetic imagery of bar patrons preparing for last call mirror Murphy's real-life divorce and his tempered, laid-back vocals enhance the raw emotion and melancholia of such storytelling. Accompanying his heartfelt vocals we have intricate acoustic guitar plucks that are beautifully intertwined with steady drum patterns, subtle accordion and bass that come together to create an overall warm, intimate atmosphere packed with raw emotion and soul.
