Live Music: James McMurtry and The Martial Law Review

Jul 7, 2026
10:00 pm - 11:30 pm

James McMurtry has long been one of Texas’ finest storytellers, writing songs filled with sharp observations, unforgettable characters, and the kind of dry wit that rewards every listen.

Backed by The Martial Law Review, his live shows bring those songs to life with a lean, road-tested sound that blends rock, Americana, folk, and country without ever feeling confined to any one genre.

It’s an honest, no-frills performance from musicians who let the songs do the talking.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or discovering his music for the first time, expect a performance that’s equal parts Texas storytelling and first-rate live music.
