Lee Murdock is a noted fluent instrumentalist on the six and twelve-string guitars.  His musical influences span fifteen generations from 17th century Irish harp music to Scott Joplin guitar rags embracing the blues, freshwater shanties, original songs and ballads.

Murdock brings to life The War of 1812 and its impact on the US.  President James Madison declared war with England because US merchant vessels were being seized by the British Navy.  Significant ballads such as the Star Spangled Banner, the Burlington Races and the Battle of Lake Erie and more songs tell the story of the British, Canadian and American people during this time.

Murdock’s tour in Montgomery County will start on Monday, January 14th at the Coffeyville Meal Site, Sycamore Landing and Windsor Place Assisted Living before arriving at the Spencer/Rounds Theatre on the CCC Campus at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, January 15th. He will continue his tour of Coffeyville with Windsor Place, Windsor Place SCU and the Medicalodge of Coffeyville on Tuesday.  Wednesday he will entertain residents at Pickwick Place, Asbury Village and the Dale Apartments followed by the students at Caney Valley High School on Thursday and the Caney Nursing Home and Guest Home Estates in Caney on Friday.

The public is invited to the 10:20 a.m. Tuesday Humanities performances at CCC.  The performances are free and held in the Spencer/Rounds Theatre.  For more information call 620-251-7700 ext. 2145 or 2038.
