CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas\u2014 Michael Martin Murphey returns to the campus of Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi on Sunday, December 8th at 7:30pm for the ninth straight year as part of the Gloria and Robert R. Furgason Bravo! Series. Since his first Performing Arts Center concert in 2005, Murphey\u2019s \u201cCowboy Christmas\u201d has become an Islander tradition for Coastal Bend residents and Winter Texans alike and sells out early every year.<\/p>\n

Best known for his 1975 hit \u201cWildfire,\u201d this year Murphey hit the Top Ten of the Billboard Magazine Bluegrass charts one week after his new album\u2019s release. \u201cRed River Drifter\u201d is an Americana blend of Murphey\u2019s influences over the years, touching not only on bluegrass, but pop, jazz, country and even classical. Produced and co-written with his son, Ryan, and guitar ace Pat Flynn, it is also Murphey\u2019s first album of all new original songs in nearly 20 years.<\/p>\n

Murphey broke ground in 1987 with his innovative Christmas show. During his concert, Murphey mixes Christmas classics such as \u201cJoy to the World,\u201d \u201cGo Tell it on the Mountain,\u201d and \u201cIt Came Upon a Midnight Clear,\u201d with country holiday favorites like \u201cChristmas Cowboy Style,\u201d \u201cThe Cowboy Christmas Ball\u201d and \u201cTwo-Step Round the Christmas Tree.\u201d<\/p>\n

His nostalgic, down-home, inspirational Christmas show appeals to a broad cross-section of fans and, each year, plays before large audiences in more than 40 cities across the country.<\/p>\n

Tickets range in price from $26-$36 and can be purchased online at tamucc.tix.com or by calling (361)825-ARTS (2787) Monday-Friday, 9 a.m.-3 p.m.<\/p>\n

The Furgason Bravo! Series continues on February 14 with a Valentine\u2019s \u201cEvening with Hal Linden.\u201d Linden, best known at TV\u2019s \u201cBarney Miller,\u201d spices up the Performing Arts Center stage with a dose of nostalgia. Backed by a seven-piece band, Linden performs some of America\u2019s greatest songs and Broadway hits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
