About: Glenn Murdock

As frontman of Mother's Finest, Glenn "Doc" Murdock has led one of rock history's most electrifying live acts since 1970 - a band that shattered racial and musical barriers by fusing funk with hard rock in a way few others dared. Three consecutive gold albums in the late 1970s and induction into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame speak to the band's lasting mark.
