Bluebonnet Spring EP by Edel Murphy & Ewan Cowley 
©2016 IMRO 

'Bluebonnet Spring EP' is the debut recording from Irish indie-folk duo Edel Murphy and Ewan Cowley. Rehearsed and recorded in hotels and theatre dressing rooms, their collaboration began on long journeys across America with 'back of the tourbus' song sessions. Soon, tunes were chosen, harmonies devised and a plan was formed to capture the sound of ukulele, guitar and two voices. 

The five track EP evokes Americana, Indie Folk and features a new song 'Careless Hands' written by Edel Murphy. Other songs are 'Gulf Coast Highway' by Nanci Griffith, the American folk classic 'Hard Times Come Again No More’, The Divine Comedy's 'Songs Of Love' and 'The Rainbow Connection' from the 1979 film 'The Muppet Movie’.
