Quote:
You probably know the story: WKIT 100.3, Eastern Maine’s classic rock station, introduced James McMurtry and the Heartless Bastards to the Bangor area in 2004, after owner Stephen King personally recommended that the song "Choctaw Bingo" from the album "Live in Aught-Three" go into heavy rotation.
Three years later, after thousands of record sales and a string of sold-out shows at the Grand Theatre in Ellsworth, the Austin, Texas-based singer-songwriter is one of the most popular artists in Maine.
McMurtry will give a little something back to the community when he plays a benefit concert on Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 3, on the Bangor Waterfront, for Food AND Medicine, an organization devoted to assisting displaced workers in Eastern Maine.

I love this quote: "We tour so we can make albums. We make albums so we can tour."
