The Murrills

Many people have made great music over the history of humankind. But there’s a certain, rare power that comes only from the singular commitment and blood bonding of family. You don’t go to school to learn it, and you can’t receive it for the asking. It’s an inborn chemistry, and you either have it or you don’t. The Murrills have it and they have it abundantly. The six-member, all-sibling group from North Carolina, has literally spent its life, from earliest childhood, singing, playing, recording and performing together. In an era when longevity can mean little more than a handful of years, the Murrills have made music as a family for decades. And the best is only about to unfold. With a long stint as members of Gospel luminary Donald Lawrence acclaimed and nationally renowned Tri-City Singers in which sister Arnetta Murrill-Crooms was a regularly featured soloist, the Murrills are now poised to move onto a platform as large as America and the world itself, with their upcoming, debut solo album, produced by Lawrence and scheduled for an early 2008, release. Although the album, Family Prayer, will be the group first full release entirely its own, they are hardly strangers to the music industry, with different members, and the group as a whole, having been featured on numerous highly successful releases by Donald Lawrence and The Tri-City Singers, including "I Am God", from the album Bible Stories; "Love The Hurt Away", featured on tri-city4.com; "Can I Lay In Your Arms", and "Keep Blessing Me", on Go Get Your Life Back; and "Better", from I Speak Life; as well as "Usher Me", from Bishop T.D. Jakes’ Sacred Love Songs, and "What A Time", from Music From The HBO Film BOYCOTT.
