James McMurtry Slots More ‘Complicated Game’ Dates
McMurtry has stories to tell. His first collection of new material in six years, Complicated Game is hailed as “his best work yet” by Paste magazine. Rolling Stone described one track – “Carlisle’s Haul” as being “so rich with the imagery and jargon of the Maryland and Virginia small-time fishing industry that you can’t help but wonder if McMurtry was himself a fisherman.”
And then there’s “How’m I Gonna Find You Now,” a song you definitely can’t ignore.
Having unleashed his first salvo of tour dates back in February, today’s additions take the singer/songwriter through May and June. Here’s the complete schedule with new shows bolded for your convenience:
