Comedy legend and Hollywood icon Bill Murray is set to showcase his musical talents in Clearwater this winter. On December 5, 2025, Murray will perform at Ruth Eckerd Hall, accompanied by the Blood Brothers and special guest Big Sky. The event will open its doors at 6 p.m., and tickets are available starting at $69.25. Enthusiastic fans can also choose to purchase meet-and-greet packages for $250.
Although Bill Murray is celebrated for his successful film and television career, he has frequently ventured into the music scene, leaving a lasting impression. He has performed at prestigious events such as Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Festival and Love Rocks NYC at the Beacon Theatre. Additionally, Murray has appeared on stage with artists like John Prine and The Steeldrivers at the Grand Ole Opry. For those who remember his time on Saturday Night Live, his performances as Nick the Lounge Singer, especially his humorous “Star Wars” rendition, stand out.
Joining Murray are guitarists Mike Zito and Albert Castiglia, known together as the Blood Brothers. Both musicians have made their mark in the blues genre, with Zito boasting nine Blues Music Awards and Castiglia securing five. Their individual solo endeavors have also earned them recognition as Blues Rock Artist of the Year and Blues Rock Album of the Year.
Adding to the musical lineup is Jimmy Vivino, a seasoned performer with over two decades of experience in the industry. Vivino is perhaps best known as the longtime bandleader and guitarist for Conan O’Brien. His recent project, “Gonna Be 2 Of Those Days,” was released earlier this year. Besides his solo work, Vivino continues to perform with Canned Heat and the Beatles tribute group, The Fab Faux.
For those interested in attending this unique musical experience, tickets are available through the Ruth Eckerd Hall website, where more details on upcoming shows are also listed. This performance joins a host of other exciting events set to take place in the Tampa Bay area this year, including shows like Cirque Musica and T-Pain.
