ESPN and ABC Sports agreed to terms this week with The Breaking Wind for the rights to use one of the band's original songs. From the band's self-titled debut album the track "Dear Mr. Murphy," composed and arranged by Marty Isaacs, is intended for use as a music bed or background for an on-air teaser for ABC Sports' Saturday Night Football. This week's game is Michigan vs. Iowa. Legendary sportscaster Brent Musburger will be the voice talent.
The Breaking Wind's three band members, Marty Isaacs, Ryan Johnson, and Ryan Mickeloff, all attend McKinnon Park Secondary School in Caledonia, Ontario. The teaser will air this Saturday at 8:00 p.m. EST, on Free TV on ABC networks and its affiliates, including HDTV, worldwide.
