Overview
OUIJA BROTHERS are a Jacksonville based jam band that can perform as a full band with drums and electric instruments or as an acoustic trio.
Quiet enough to talk over, propulsive enough to dance to, and covering material varied enough to please all ages – Miles Davis to Wilco to the Grateful Dead to The Band to the Allman Bros to Jimi Hendrix-
OUIJA BROTHERS are available to play at private parties, restaurants, clubs, bars, weddings, benefits, palm-readings and seances. They recycle, and use their blinkers.
Inspired by tales of their distant cousin, the 9 fingered gypsy guitarist, Hasbro Ouija, and galvanized by a jam session where they conjured a blend of music that played itself.

DAVID MURPHY (Vocals, Acoustic Guitar, Electric Bass) who survived an early exposure to the French horn, then found a Greco-brand classical guitar in the the attic, and later faked his way into the bass chair in the jazz band at SUNY-Cortland, by auditioning by ear while pretending to read a chart possibly written in Sanskrit. After his stint playing bass with VuduBlu led to musical combustion with Chip, David was then introduced to
SCOTT RUSSELL (Acoustic Guitar, Slide Guitar) who was mesmerized by Jerry Garcia, Roy Buchanan and Jaco Pastorius in the 70's, and has been sneaking up on Chickenskin Music ever since. A co-founder of Tyrone Thighbone and the Nocturnal Emissionsin the late 70's, Scott played lead guitar with two local bands, Trap Door (since 1991), and (more recently) Laughing Bones. Hi, Mom!
Todd Hunn (drums) is our newest brother. His pulse remains 72 under any musical circumstance, and his entire extended family shines with the proper vibration. Just observe...
