SUMMARY:James McMurtry at Narrows
DESCRIPTION:James McMurtry comes to the Narrows on Saturday\, March 28\, at 8 p.m. Doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets are $49 in advance and $51 the day of the show. BettySoo will open. \nMcMurtry has built a reputation for sharp\, empathetic storytelling. His songs explore everyday lives\, small moments\, and complicated emotions with insight and humor. \nHis 11th album\, The Black Dog & the Wandering Boy\, follows that approach. It introduces vivid characters and quiet dramas drawn from the details of life. The music blends guitars\, barroom harmonies\, banjo\, and harmonica with a sound rooted in Americana. \nOver a long career\, McMurtry has influenced a new generation of songwriters. Musicians\, including Sarah Jarosz and Jason Isbell\, cite him as a major inspiration.
