Murphy 's prolific career spans 50+ years and is most noted for his definitive and unique vocalese and vocal improvisations with both melody and lyrics. He is the recipient of numerous consecutive Downbeat Magazine Readers Jazz Poll for Best Male Vocalist of the Year as well as six Grammy Award Nominations for Best Vocal Jazz Performance. He is also known for his original lyrics to the jazz classics Stolen Moments and Red Clay. Time has been good to Murphy's voice: a rich, virile, attractively craggy bass-baritone, etched with the wisdom of a fifty-year journey. It's a sound that could have crept from the shadows of some smoky dive in a Robert Mitchum film noir. There is a $30 cover plus a $10 food/drink minimum.

Craig has distinguished himself consistently in his live shows by performing music from the Great American Songbook that is not over-recorded, contemporary pop, as well as more unusual songs he has collected from songwriters through the years. Pomranz crafts shows that feel freshly minted each night, like a nightclub act at the Copa from the golden days, and audiences can expect witty banter with his music director Stephen Bocchino, fast-paced entertainment, and moments of deeply moving beauty. In addition to his solo performances, he has shared the stage with Dame Cleo Laine, Barbara Cook, Betty Buckley and Ann Hampton Callaway. There is a $20 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.
