In an era when longevity can mean little more than a handful of years, the Murrills have made music as a family for decades.

With a long stint as members of Gospel luminary Donald Lawrence acclaimed and nationally renowned Tri-City Singers in which sister Arnetta Murrill-Crooms was a regularly featured soloist, the Murrills moved onto a platform as large as America and the world itself, with their debut solo album, 'Family Prayer' produced by Donald Lawrence and released early 2008,. Although the album was the group first full release entirely its own, they are hardly strangers to the music industry, with different members, and the group as a whole, having been featured on numerous highly successful releases by Lawrence and The Tri-City Singers, including "I Am God", from the album Bible Stories; "Love The Hurt Away", featured on tri-city4.com; "Can I Lay In Your Arms", and "Keep Blessing Me", on Go Get Your Life Back; and "Better", from I Speak Life; as well as "Usher Me", from Bishop T.D. Jakes' Sacred Love Songs, and "What A Time", from Music From The HBO Film BOYCOTT.

In addition to the Murrills impressive musical résumé, they have tallied a number of notable film credits. Arnetta has performed in numerous plays and movies; while André Murrill co-starred with Shawn Flannery, Harrison Ford and Jeffrey Wright in the television movie, "Young Indiana Jones Chronicles/The Mystery of the Blues", in which the entire family also appeared as a jazz band, as they also did in the movie "Stompin at the Savoy".

Featured cuts on their own album include the poignant "Love the Hurt Away", and "Better", both Lawrence compositions revised and redone for the album, and showcasing Arnetta's heart-stopping vocals. Another stand-out, accompanying a roster of Lawrence originals still to be finalized, is a complete and captivating reinvention of '80s R&B sensation New Edition's No. 1 smash, "Can You Stand the Rain". Each Murrill "Roger, Arnetta, Donnell, André , Darwin, and Damion" is a gifted singer and instrumentalist who together make the kind of stirring, soulful, spine-tingling music that soars above man-made barriers of race, denomination, age or gender. And each Murrill is active as well in some aspect of spoken word and hands-on ministry in addition to music, including, a seminary trained theologian and scholar, preachers, teachers, and music, arts and youth ministers in several churches in Charlotte, and their native Wilmington, North Carolina.
