Murray Porter's CD Songs Lived & Life Played’, was released to rave reviews on September 26, 2011. On March 31, 2012, Murray won a 2012 JUNO Award forAboriginal Album of the Year’, for this release. These songs revolved around love lost, love won, some feel good, foot stompin’ songs and a couple very emotional...in particular 'Is Sorry Enough?' which he co-wrote with Elaine Bomberry, about then Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper's apology to the Indian Residential School Survivors.

He’s shared the stage with hundreds of Artists including B.B. King, the late Etta James, The Neville Brothers, Tom Cochrane, Burton Cummings, Marcia Ball, Pura Fe, Derek Miller, Keith Secola and The Funk Brothers (twice). In his own words: “When I was about 11 years old I remember listening to blues radio under the covers at home late at night. This is when I first heard ‘The Thrill is Gone’ by B.B. King, and I was hooked! So to open for the Artist that started me on my blues journey is like a dream come true”.
