Murray Kinsley & Wicked Grin

Reviewers have described this internationally touring, Maple Blues Award winning band as “stripped-down, hellaciously rockin’ new blues with the distinctive voice and guitar-work of Murray Kinsley and a rhythm section that swings with reckless, casual precision”.

Much of Wicked Grin’s success is based on Murray’s stage presence and his ability to connect with and move audiences – this is what he lives for.

Murray Kinsley and Wicked Grin were awarded the 2014 Maple Blues Award for “New Artist” and were a semi-finalist at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, January 2019. Their album “Murder Creek,” released October 2018, has earned widespread industry acclaim and was a semi-finalist for the IBC Best Self-Produced CD Award. Their latest disc “Eye Of The Storm” was released in January, 2025 and is achieving world-wide airplay and reviews.
