James McMurtry & The Martial Law Review — 10:00 PM set; TBA at 12:00 AM. $10 cover at 9:00 PM. No advance tickets. 21+ only.

Never one to rest on his laurels, James McMurtry continues to tour constantly and consistently puts on a must-see powerhouse performance. The Washington Post noted McMurtry’s live prowess: “Much attention is paid to James McMurtry’s lyrics, and rightfully so: He creates a novel’s worth of emotion and experience in four minutes of blisteringly stark couplets. What gets overlooked, however, is that he’s an accomplished rock guitar player.”

Venue: The Continental Club, 1315 South Congress Avenue, Austin, TX 78704. Tickets / Info: Event page.
