The annual First Friday Concert in the Park series, hosted by Murphys Community Club, starts June 2nd with local band StarDogs featuring a local favorite Brian Jirka, and professional touring musicians Scott Moughton and Rick Deputy. Their high-energy, dance-driven music primarily focuses on 70’s groove music, with Jirka’s original music and some modern sounds blended in. The band was booked a year ago and is sure to bring some great energy!

The BabyBacks are a dance band with a huge repertoire, spanning the 1940’s to the 2000’s. We play blues, rock, Motown, swing, jazz, funk and even a little country swing – we love playing a little something for everyone, says Jenny Roland and are happy to be back in Murphys Park .
Starting at 5 p.m., a pulled pork dinner with tasty sides will be available on site from Murphys Historic Hotel.
