James McMurtry

"One of America's greatest living songwriters" - Rolling Stone Tickets: $35 (fees not included) American singer-songwriter and guitarist James McMurtry (son of acclaimed novelist Larry McMurtry) is a “true Americana poet – actually he is a poet regardless of genre,” according to Michael Nesmith. Praised for his ability to capture the essence of the American experience in his music, McMurtry’s “brave, smart, and pithy” songs (Washington Post) often explore themes of politics, social issues, and the human condition, and his lyrics are known for their storytelling and vivid imagery. The award-winning McMurtry’s most recent album, last summer’s “The Black Dog and the Wandering Boy,” is “a raw, unfiltered release of longing,” according to Americana UK. “Roots rock at its most cathartic.”
