James McMurtry To Perform At ELM In Bozeman This June

The ELM in Bozeman is such a good room for many kinds of music, but it's my first choice to see someone like James McMurtry - and he'll be here on Wednesday night.

"Funny and sad often in the same breath, the new album adds a new chapter to a long career that has enjoyed a resurgence as young songwriters like Sarah Jarosz and Jason Isbell cite him as a formative influence."

"In 1987, a friend in San Antonio suggested McMurtry enter the Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk songwriter contest; he became one of six winners that year.

Also around this time John Mellencamp was starring in a film based on a script by McMurtry's father, which gave McMurtry the opportunity to send a demo tape to Mellencamp.

Mellencamp subsequently served as co-producer on McMurtry's debut album, Too Long in the Wasteland." (wikipedia)
