Early lifeMcMurry was born in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.[1] According to family, he could sing before he could walk. He started playing guitar at the age of 12 and was playing in bands when he was 14.[2] His aunt was Lillian McMurry, the founder of Trumpet Records. She was a mentor to McMurray and gave advice as he started in the music industry.[2] CareerThe Webb Wilder character was created in 1984 for a short comedy film created by friend called "Webb Wilder Private Eye." The character was a backwoods private detective who fell out of the 1950s and happened to also be a musician. The short appeared on the television variety show "Night Flight."[1] With his groups like The Drapes, The Beatnecks, The Nashvegans, Wilder combines the straight-ahead rock & roll with surf guitar of the Ventures and twang of Duane Eddy, drawing on the feel of blues, R&B, country/rockabilly and film noir.[3] His sound incorporated influence from Americana music as well as from the British Invasion.[4] Wilder has been signed to major labels and worked with independent labels. He has also hosted a radio show for Sirius Radio.[1] Webb Wilder appeared as an actor in Peter Bogdanovich's 1993 film The Thing Called Love. Wilder currently resides in Nashville, Tennessee.
