James McMurtry and the Bottle Rockets are at Knuckleheads tonight

  • James McMurtry

The son of novelist Larry McMurtry, singer-songwriter James McMurtry has inherited his father’s gift for storytelling; the eye for detail and the ear for wordplay common to his Americana tunes are literary to the core. He’s paired here with the Bottle Rockets, contemporaries of Uncle Tupelo and the Jayhawks in the early ’90s Midwestern alt-country scene.

James McMurtry, with the Bottle Rockets. Wednesday, July 3, at Knuckleheads Saloon, $20.
