Murray Cook Career

Career

Cook performed in the late 1980s bands The Transistors and Finger Guns before joining Bang Shang a Lang. (He continued to play for Bang Shang a Lang in Sydney when he was not on tour with the Wiggles.)

Cook, who spent "a lifetime as a struggling musician in Sydney," returned to university and studied early childhood education at Macquarie University, where he first met Anthony Field and Greg Page in 1991 and formed the Wiggles. Cook spent two years as a preschooler before being forced to resign due to the Wiggles' triumph. Cook would have been content to "continue teaching and possibly move into an academic role in the field," Field says. He knows his stuff and is simply fantastic with children.

Cook was aware that he was probably the first guitarist his children would see, and he said, "I always think that if it inspires kids to play guitar later on." I think it would be really nice if someone, if in 15 years I read, got into guitar playing due to [The] Wiggles." Since Cook was one of the first guitarists children were exposed to, Guitar Magazine speculated that he might be the world's most influential guitarist. Cook's top musical influences included the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Who, and Eric Clapton. Cook owned a collection of thirty vintage guitars in 2007.

Cook, a member of the Wiggles, wore a red skivvy and served as an instrumentalist and singer. After watching pro ten pin bowlers do the thing on television, he came up with the Wiggles' signature index finger wagging move. He was regarded as the group's intellectual and analytical agent (something referred to in several episodes of their television show), so he acted as mediator for their group's decisions. Cook delivered the commencement address to the students as the Wiggles earned honorary degrees from the Australian Catholic University in 2006.

Cook, Greg Page, and Jeff Fatt announced on May 17th that they would be retiring from the Wiggles at the end of the year. Simon Pryce, a Wiggles cast member, had him replaced. Cook and the others are likely to continue to be involved with the company's design and production aspects. Cook served as the company's tour guide in 2013.

"I was kind of feeling my way for a few years, I guess," Cook told the Newcastle Herald about his music career after his release from the Wiggles. He "began to investigate other adult musical projects" in addition to continuing to perform with Bang Shang A Lang. On their 2015 album, Edge of the Dancefloor, he performed lead guitar for the Protest, "a Sydney-based guitar pop band fronted by singer-songwriter Luke Russell." Cook was also active in the production of Sons of Sun, an American music producer Sam Phillips. Cook performed guitar for the "Natra/Lee Hazlewood Experience" in Newcastle, New South Wales, in October 2017.

Cook met Lizzie Mack, a member of the Sydney soul-rock band The Soul Movers, and Radio Birdman guitarist Deniz Tek, a founding member of The Soul Movers, who together with Radio Birdman guitarist Deniz Tek and founder of The Soul Movers, who are relaunching the project while looking at other projects. Cook began writing songs with Mack in 2015 and decided to concentrate on the band and use it as his "key creative outlet." Jeff Fatt, a keyboardist for the band, performed keyboards for the group at the Wiggles' studio in northwest Sydney. Bona Fide, the Sydney Morning Herald's "awesome album," was the group's year-end production. The collection, which Cook described as "more roots-oriented songs to try to represent a diversity of American music styles," was released in "premier soul studios" in Memphis, Tennessee, and FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama.

In early 2018, Cook gave a "energetic performance" in the DZ Deathrays' music video "Like People," which went viral online. In July 2018, he appeared with the group at the rock festival Splendour in the Grass.

The Soul Movers album "Bona Fide" was recorded in legendary studios in North America, including Royal and Sun Studios in Memphis and Fame, and Muscle Shoals Sound in Alabama, which has been nominated for best Soul/R&B album of 2019 in the AIR Awards. In 2021, the Soul Movers revived music festival Splendour in the Grass.

(Previous albums "Testify!"

In October 2020, ABC Music (ABC Music) and "Evolution" were released.
