Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. is scheduled to be in concert this week at the historic Keith Albee Performing Arts Center in Huntington.
Landau will be doing a benefit show for the Cabell-Wayne Coalition of Rotary Clubs. Proceeds from the benefit concert will benefit the Golden Girls Group Home and other local organizations.

His 2012 tour will take him to the legendary Apollo Theatre in New York City in April, and to appearances at the California and West Virginia state fairs this summer.

Recently he was the recipient of two awards; The Artist of the Year Award during the Governor’s Arts Awards for 2012 held at the West Virginia Cultural Center in March and at the Community Music Association’s second annual Arts Awards Dinner in Charleston.
