James McMurtry, The Last Jimenez

About this event

The Last Jimenez @12am, James McMurtry @10pm – $10 cover at 9:30pm. 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.”

Austin’s best kept secret is David Jimenez, a.k.a. The Last Jimenez. David Jimenez, a singer-songwriter from the Rio Grande Valley has a unique perspective. Being the youngest on both sides of his giant family, (hence The Last Jimenez) he was destined to be a Tejano “living in between worlds” of a border town existence. Much like the bodies of water called “resacas” that inhabit the county where he was born and raised, his music is a specific blend of influences that don’t really exist anywhere else. He’s part troubadour, soul man, guitar slinger, crooner and the end result is something he calls “Resaca Pop.” “The music just reflects where I’m from and where I’ve been,” says Jimenez. “It’s humid, breezy, sweet and mysterious.” Now based in Austin, he has quietly made himself a favorite among the deep artists and musicians while still being accessible to audiences that love greasy groove and hooks. “The deeper you go, the more you get but there’s still plenty on the surface.”
