Murley Shertz

Peace...
...and Love
Murley Shertz has been rocking the Chicago area for the past two years with their tasteful covers and unique original songs, creating a steady following of fans. Their on-stage energy is enough to transform any crowd into a group of live music fanatics. The quintet includes multi-instrumental musicians who play guitar, saxophone, bass, keyboards, and drums. Murley Shertz has established themselves as a music lovers' band by blending their unique style and instrumentation together to create an indescribable, but welcoming sound to all. The band mostly resembles the rawness of early Led Zeppelin mixed with thoughtful melodies and hooks. But just when you think you've got Murley Shertz figured out, they'll write a Steely Dan-esque tune with intricate saxophone and keyboard-driven chord progressions.
With the release of their self produced album, "Welcome to Murley Shertz," the band is ready to expand their audience by sharing the music they've created and love. The album captures the raw energy of a Chicago Bar band mixed with the maturity and finesse of a Midwest band.
During their live shows they have been known to cover artists such as Paul Simon, Umphrey’s McGee, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Led Zeppelin. As Murley Shertz grows and progresses, they invite you to come along and discover "good music" again.
