David Murphy -For My Peeps

David Murphy – For My Peeps is the latest chapter in the storied musical journey of bassist and synth player David Murphy, a founding member of the pioneering electronic/jam band STS9 (Sound Tribe Sector 9). After spending 17 transformative years with STS9—helping shape an entire scene that blended live instrumentation with electronic innovation—Murphy returns to the stage with a renewed vision and soulful purpose.

Rooted in a dynamic mix of funk, jam, and electronic music, David Murphy – For My Peeps
bridges the past and future. Drawing from the timeless sound of early STS9 albums, particularly the iconic Artifact and their foundational first two records, Murphy is reimagining that spirit through a modern lens. Live performances weave in those classics alongside new solo material, inviting audiences into an evolving soundscape of rhythm, energy, and emotion.

Musically influenced by trailblazers like Nine Inch Nails, Daft Punk, Pink Floyd, Empire of the
Sun, Tame Impala, and Herbie Hancock & the Headhunters, Murphy’s compositions are
instrumental stories—deep, immersive experiences that speak without words. His philosophy is clear: music and art are not possessions; they’re collective experiences, and the artist is simply
a channel.

David’s current mission is simple yet profound: to bring joy and happiness through music.
Whether reconnecting with longtime STS9 fans or welcoming new listeners in search of the
funk, David Murphy – For My Peeps is a celebration of connection, creativity, and community—joined by the talented Kevin Donohue (Sunsquabi), Scott Hannay (Mihali), and Rohan Prakash (Rohan Solo).
