Having spent the better part of two decades touring the country, including numerous stops here in Asheville,
is “Back at It”, playing in support of his 2015 album Complicated Game, hailed by many critics as among his best, while mixing in a generous dose of older favorites and the prerequisite cover tune or two. As anyone who has attended a McMurtry show will attest, no two are ever alike. As the Washington Post noted, “Much attention is paid to James McMurtry’s lyrics and rightfully so: He creates a novel’s worth of emotion and experience in four minutes of blisteringly stark couplets. What gets overlooked, however, is that he’s an accomplished rock guitar player … serious stuff, imparted by a singularly serious band.”
McMurtry and company will be in Asheville on Friday, July 22, at the Grey Eagle, sharing a bill with the Muscle Shoals infused sounds of the Amy Black Band.
Doors open at 7:00pm for this 8:00pm performance. Tickets are priced at $17.00 in advance at $20.00 day of show. For more information visit the club’s website at
