Although Bill Murray has been known to drift in and out of the music scene on his own terms, he and his Blood Brothers might be here to stay. This April, the actor and comedian is coming to Clearwater not to promote a film, but to make some noise.

The 75-year-old leads Bill Murray & His Blood Brothers, a blues-rock collective featuring seasoned guitarists Mike Zito and Albert Castiglia, plus longtime bandleader and Conan O’Brien collaborator Jimmy Vivino. The group first turned heads with a set at the Big Blues Bender in Las Vegas in 2024, blending classic covers with originals, and plenty of Murray’s quirky charm.

The show leans into rock and blues, with clear inspiration from Bob Dylan and The Beatles, anchored by serious musicianship, with Zito and Castiglia alone accounting for over 10 Blues Music Awards. Murray brings a playful, casual spirit that longtime fans will recognize from his “Saturday Night Live” days and surprise musical appearances over the years.

Originally slated for December, the performance has been rescheduled for this spring, with all tickets honored on the new date.

Tickets to Bill Murray & His Blood Brothers play Ruth Eckerd Hall in Clearwater on Friday, April 17 are still available and start at $53.25.
