A singer, composer and actor, Lyle Lovett has broadened the definition of American music in a career that spans 14 albums over three decades. Coupled with his gift for storytelling, the Texas-based musician fuses elements of Americana, swing, jazz, folk, gospel and blues in a convention-defying manner that breaks down barriers. Whether touring in a duo, with his acoustic group or the Large Band, Lovett’s live performances demonstrate 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 musicians in popular music. Since his self-titled debut in 1986, Lyle Lovett has evolved into one of music’s most vibrant and iconic performers. Among his many accolades, besides the four Grammy Awards, he was given the Americana Music Association’s inaugural Trailblazer Award and was named an official Texas State Artist Musician. His works, rich and eclectic, are some of the most beloved of any living artist working today.

“Lovett remains a stylistic anomaly. Simply put, there is no artist of lasting, prominent mainstream appeal like him.” – Lexington Herald-Leader
