James McMurtry is a singer/songwriter/guitarist, praised as being among the strongest songwriters of his generation. His works, which range from atmospheric ballads to no-holds-barred rockers, are populated by world-weary souls often longing for something different.
Given his first guitar at the age of seven, McMurtry soon dedicated himself to mastering the instrument. He was writing song fragments by his mid-teens. While studying English and Spanish at University of Arizona in the '80s, he began his songwriting in earnest. In Tucson, he played with a loose affiliation of musicians and started his performance career as a soloist at the Sawmill Café, an Old Pueblo beer garden. After traveling a spell and earning his keep painting houses, tending bar and dabbling in acting, McMurtry found himself back in Texas, working in San Antonio's entertainment district.
His first national recognition came in 1987 when he garnered an award in the New Folk songwriting category at the Kerrville Folk Festival.McMurtry almost exclusively plays with his band, The Heartless Bastards.
