Fans of James McMurtry won’t have to wait long for his next Old Pueblo visit.
The Americana singer-songwriter who hails from Texas is set to be the headliner —performing with singer Bonnie Whitmore — at Club Congress this Sunday.
Expect a splash of politics at the show, with McMurtry’s song “State of the Union,” which speaks of his take on today’s world. He’ll also play tracks from his new album, “Complicated Game.”
The 21-and-older show starts at 7:20 p.m., with McMurtry set to take the stage at 8:15 p.m. Tickets cost $20 and can be purchased at hotelcongress.com
