Murray Thorne

“The Maui Rocker”

Murray Thorne is a rock musician, singer/songwriter, entertainer, and recording artist who now resides on the island of Maui, Hawaii. His career has led him across North America, playing with club acts, major label touring bands, and as a solo performer. Often referred to now as “The Maui Rocker”, he is well known to both locals and visitors there for his impassioned live performances. Born in Canada, Thorne’s earlier career highlights included playing in The Henry Small Band with drummer Zak Starkey, then later with Penta/WEA recording artist Raymond May, who had a top 10 single, touring the U.S.opening for Iggy Pop, Aerosmith, and the Georgia Satellites. Murray was later invited by producer Bob Rock to help build his home studio on Maui, where he wound up providing backup vocals on a track for Our Lady Peace’s Gravity album while they were recording there. Thorne ended up making Maui his own home and became a well-known regular performer there, both as a solo entertainer and from his long stint as the exuberant frontman for local show band, Celtic Tigers. He released a solo album, Tin Can Telephone, for which he won an IAIRA award for his song “Butterfly Kisses”. Thorne also gained favorable attention from both the public and press for his repeat sold-out presentations of In The Flesh, a live solo performance of Pink Floyd’s The Wall, which featured a film that he created to play as a backdrop for the show. He received personal praise for it from Actor/Director Woody Harrelson, who called it “an amazing experience.”
