James McMurtry — artist information

James McMurtry conjures the ghosts of dive bars and dusty highways with his weathered baritone, a voice that sounds like it’s seen a few too many miles. His songs, sharp as broken glass and as honest as a confession, are delivered with a simmering intensity that fills the room. The band lays down a foundation of gritty Americana, a restless pulse that underpins the storytelling without ever overshadowing it. When McMurtry plays, the audience leans in, captivated by the raw, unvarnished truth spun into every chord.

Genres: singer-songwriter, alt-country, americana, folk.
