Bill Murray & His Blood Brothers

Bill Murray & His Blood Brothers is a blues-rock band fronted by the American actor and comedian Bill Murray alongside the Blood Brothers, a group whose ranks feature guitarists Mike Zito and Albert Castiglia. Murray joined after an impromptu on-stage moment at his family's Caddyshack charity golf tournament, singing a number by one of his favourite bands, and became a full member. The band's repertoire leans on under-the-radar rock and blues classics, including songs associated with The Kinks and The Rascals, delivered with Murray's loose, characterful vocals. More a live proposition than a recording project, the outfit has taken its good-time, celebrity-fronted revue to festivals and theatres across the United States, where the novelty of a movie star turned bandleader is a genuine draw.
