Putnam Murdock got his start as a professional musician touring with the successful rock and roll band Chief Broom. With Murdock as front man, the group achieved a slot on the 1997 H.O.R.D.E. tour, appeared in festivals at Red Rocks Amphitheater, and sold out venues throughout the western U.S. Upon completion of this type of "music school of life" in 1999, Murdock attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, where he graduated with a songwriting degree in 2002. Since then, Murdock has been performing across the country with artists such as Reed Foehl (of Acoustic Junction), Ben Taylor, Martin Sexton, The Samples, William Topley, and Kaki King. In addition to his live performances, he has also established his songwriting career by co-writing songs that have been featured in television shows Joan of Arcadia, Dawsons Creek, MTV's Made, and The Biggest Loser.  The song When it Comes Around appeared in the movie Just Friends and is also included on the soundtrack. After a stint in Brooklyn, where Murdock performed and co-produced the debut records for Kenny Cambre "The Guy You Cheer For", and Kara Suzanne "Aumsville", he now resides in southern Massachusetts. The focus now is his new record titled, Brand New Widow, recorded and co-produced by Bryan Pugh at Dreamland Studios near Woodstock, NY.
