Murray Atkinson (Guitar, Bass Guitar, Piano, Composition, Ukulele, Mandolin, Banjo)

Online Lessons:

Teaching Day(s): Monday, Tuesday, Thursday

Murray Atkinson is a multi-instrumentalist comfortable performing as an instrumentalist or guitarist / vocalist. Loving the energy and fire of guitar-driven hard rock, his forte is powerful guitar riffs and huge sounding songs that have intense energy and pay homage to his interesting mix of 90’s and 70s era roots and influences.

Currently working on material that would find a home in a 90s Seattle nightclub or alongside a modern Jeff Beck playlist, his composition skills on guitar are much broader than can be defined by any one genre and stretches well into familiar yet refreshing territory.
