The Murmurs

The Murmurs were an American alternative pop music duo comprised of singers/songwriters Leisha Hailey and Heather Grody.

History

The Murmurs

The Murmurs began performing in 1991 while the duo were both students of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. With their self-released, debut album, Who We Are, the duo quickly attracted a cult following on the East Village club circuit. In 1994, The Murmurs signed with MCA Records. They released their self-titled LP the same year. The duo expanded into a four-woman group in 1997 with the addition of bassist Sheri Ozeki and drummer Sherri Solinger. They released Pristine Smut in 1997 and, a year later, Blender.
