Shannon Ogden, The Inablers, and Magic Tone Murph

Evening News Anchor at Channel 7, KMGH-TV in Denver, Shannon Ogden's passion and dirty secret is that he is a performing singer-songwriter.

The Inablers are an up-and-coming rock’n’roll band in the Denver music scene, playing to a loyal following of fans. The band has found a groove in the hidden gems of Denver’s SoBo, Colfax and small festival music scene by blending an eclectic set of originals, deeper track covers and knocking the dust off of some carefully chosen timeless tunes. 

With diverse musical influences, The Inablers drink from a cross-genre musical well spanning deep-cut gold from rock ‘n roll, punk, and blues. Band originals play in a similar sandbox with all members sharing the mic and songwriting, distilling the spirit of the “Blurs” roots into thoughtful and personal lyrics, melodic harmonies and hard driving, danceable rock. 

Be sure to check out the tunes at theinablers.com, and the band in the booming live music scene in Colorado. 

The Inablers are Matt Fiore on lead guitar and vocals, Chris Peters on bass and vocals, Yaron Marcus on drums and vocals, Matt Hynes on rhythm guitar and vocals, and featuring “Dazzling” Dan Craig on saxophone. 

P.S. If you’re wondering if the Inablers name is the regrettable product of misspent youth, dodging rhetoric for more colorful exploitations… We have a confession to make. It’s not. Two members of the band were English majors, so we feel entirely inabled to take artistic license with the damn name.

Magic Tone Murph have been playing together for a few years now. In 2010, Murphy joined Clay and Rick, and together (with a few others) they became Murphy and the Claytones. After a short hiatus in 2014, Clay, Rick, and Murphy started Magic Tone Murph with a bit more of a rock edge. Playing mostly covers of classic rock and 80's pop, they also feature some originals in every show.
