New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Four-time Grammy-winning singer, composer and actor
Lyle Lovett is set for a co-headline run of Midwestern tour dates with two-time Grammy-nominated guitarist Leo Kottke. The limited six-show run will feature Lovett and Kottke in conversation and song. Artist pre-sale begins Wednesday, July 26 at 10 A.M. local time while general on-sale begins on Friday, July 28 at 10 a.m. local time at tour.lylelovett.com.
In addition, Lovett and renowned singer-songwriter John Hiatt are heading out on a run of joint tour dates this fall. Kicking off on October 2 at the legendary Carnegie Hall in New York City, the performances will feature arrangements of various Lovett originals from his critically acclaimed album 12th of June, which represent a more reflective side of Lovett's present-day life.
Whether touring with his Acoustic Group or his Large Band, Lovett's live performances show not only the breadth of this
Texas legend's deep talents, but also the diversity of his influences, making him one of the most compelling and captivating artists in popular music. A full roundup of Lovett's extensive run of North American dates can be found below.
Produced by Chuck Ainlay and Lovett, 12th of June was released last year on
Verve Records. Coupled with his gift for storytelling, the new album continues to highlight 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, Lovett 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.
