The Grand Rapids Public Museum (GRPM) continues the 2018 Concerts Under the Stars series in the Chaffee Planetarium with new music from Grand Rapids’ band Major Murphy on Thursday, April 12.
Major Murphy reimagines 1970s radio rock with bristling sensitivity for our present era. They have debuted three albums with the newest “No. 1” being released just recently on March 30, combining the sounds of rock, pop and dream pop.
This concert will feature a chilled-out tempo and atmosphere, and the sprawling jam, expanding in effervescent layers of psychedelia. The concert begins at 7:30 p.m., with doors opening at 6:30 p.m. Refreshments, beer and other beverages will be available for purchase.
Major Murphy is the collaboration of Jacob Bullard, Jacki Warren, and Brian Voortman. Their first EP was recorded before they had ever formally played a show, but in the months following its release, the band hit the road and begin playing out regularly. These shows gave Major Murphy a new perspective and confidence to their music.
This concert will feature a custom light show on the planetarium’s dome, which boasts state-of-the-art technology with 4k visuals and surround sound for an amazing immersive concert experience.
Tickets are $10 for GRPM members, $12 for non-members if purchased in advance, and $15 for non-members on the day of the concert. Tickets are currently on sale at grpm.org, by calling 616.929.1700 or at the Museum’s front desk.
The final 2018 Concerts Under the Stars will take place on May 15 with local band Mertle.
