Here are all the dates for his tour"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

More than half a century after making his debut with<\/strong> Aquashow<\/strong><\/em>, Elliott Murphy continues to do what he does best: tell stories with a guitar. The American musician and writer returns to Spain for a tour of eleven concerts between November 2026 and March 2027, including a very special celebration in Madrid.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

There was a time when New York seemed to churn out rock legends on every corner. Lou Reed, Patti Smith, the New York Dolls, and a generation of musicians who turned the streets, bars, and endless nights of Manhattan into songs.<\/p>\n\n

Elliott Murphy emerged from that world. And, more than fifty years later, he\u2019s still performing on stage.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The New York-born singer and writer, who has been based in Paris for decades, is returning to Spain on a tour that will take him to Granada, Seville, Oviedo, Santander, A Coru\u00f1a, Madrid, Zaragoza, San Sebasti\u00e1n, and Bilbao.<\/p>\n\n

The musician who was compared to Bob Dylan and won over Lou Reed<\/h2>\n\n

In 1973, Elliott Murphy released *Aquashow*<\/em>, a debut album that immediately caught the attention of American critics. His imagery-rich lyrics, his urban perspective, and his way of blending rock and literature led to the inevitable comparisons with Bob Dylan.<\/p>\n\n

But Murphy had something of his own: a New York sensibility that connected as much with the tradition of singer-songwriters as it did with the world of Lou Reed.<\/p>\n\n

In fact, Reed himself went to see him perform at the legendary Max\u2019s Kansas City and ended up helping him give his recording career a new boost.<\/p>\n\n

Albums such as *Lost Generation*<\/em>, *Night Lights*<\/em>, and *Just a Story from America*<\/em> would follow. More than 35 albums, books, and thousands of kilometers on the road later, Elliott Murphy continues to champion a vision of rock that seems increasingly rare: songs have to tell a story.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Three nights in Madrid to celebrate a historic album<\/h2>\n\n

One of the tour\u2019s most special moments will take place in January 2027.<\/p>\n\n

Murphy will perform three consecutive concerts at the Galileo Galilei venue in Madrid on January 22, 23, and 24,<\/strong> as part of the celebration of the 50th anniversary of *Just a Story from America<\/em>*.<\/p>\n\n

Released in 1977, that album holds a prominent place in his discography and featured musicians such as Phil Collins and Mick Taylor.<\/p>\n\n

This is an opportunity to revisit songs that are part of the history of singer-songwriter rock and see how they\u2019ve stood the test of time over five decades.<\/p>\n\n
