4x Grammy Award-winning singer, composer and actor Lyle Lovett will embark on an extensive tour this summer with his Large Band including newly confirmed stops at Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre, St. Louis’ The Factory, Kansas City’s Uptown Theater, Minneapolis’ State Theatre, Detroit’s Masonic Cathedral Theatre, Pittsburgh’s Stage AE and Indianapolis’ Everwise Amphitheater at White River State Park among many others.
Tickets for the summer dates will be available for pre-sale starting tomorrow, March 20 at 10:00am local time with general on-sale following this Friday, March 22 at 10:00am local time. Full details can be found at www.lylelovett.com/tour.
Ahead of the dates with his Large Band, Lovett will also perform several shows with Lisa Loeb this spring, which will feature the pair on stage together sharing songs and stories. See below for complete itinerary.
Whether touring with his Large Band, Acoustic Group, or in conversation and song format, Lovett’s live performances show not only the breadth of the Texas legend’s talents, but also the diversity of his influences, making him one of the most compelling and captivating artists in popular music.
The upcoming performances will feature songs from across Lovett’s extensive catalog, including his latest album, 12th of June, which was produced by Lovett and Chuck Ainlay. Coupled with his gift for storytelling, the record further highlights Lovett’s ability to fuse elements of jazz, country, western swing, folk, gospel and blues in a convention-defying manner that breaks down barriers. Of the album, The Wall Street Journal hails, “Few artists can bring all of these moods and sounds into one place and put a personal stamp on them all; Lyle Lovett does that.”
Lovett has broadened the definition of American music in a career that spans 14 albums. Since his self-titled debut in 1986, he has evolved into one of music’s most vibrant and iconic performers. Among his many accolades, besides four Grammy Awards, he was given the Americana Music Association’s inaugural Trailblazer Award, was named Texas State Musician and is a member of both the Texas Heritage Songwriters’ Association Hall of Fame and the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame.
