James McMurtry Solo Show + Betty Soo in Glasgow

James McMurtry brings his acclaimed storytelling to Saint Luke's in Glasgow for an intimate solo show, with support from Betty Soo. Known for his vivid character-driven songs, McMurtry draws from Americana traditions—rolling guitars, barroom harmonies, and traces of banjo and harmonica—to create music that is both funny and sad, often in the same breath.

His eleventh album, *The Black Dog & the Wandering Boy*, features richly drawn characters like a Lone Star sheriff with a secret second family and a mechanic lying among spare parts. The album has earned praise from young songwriters like Sarah Jarosz and Jason Isbell, who cite McMurtry as a formative influence. Expect a night of sharp, insightful songcraft in the historic setting of Saint Luke's.
