In this episode, Team Derringer interviews rock legend Elliott Murphy who has been a fixture on the music scene for over 51 years. Elliott is not just a rock musician; he's also a novelist, record producer, singer-songwriter, journalist, and actor.
From his residence in Paris, France, where he lives with his wife Françoise, Elliott entertains Team Derringer (and our listeners) with tales of his early days as a musician from Long Island, New York. He reminisces about times spent with iconic musicians like Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, and Lou Reed. He also recounts his experiences of rising to fame—and experiencing setbacks—in the rock-and-roll scene of the early '70s.
