Why see Lyle Lovett?
Lyle Lovett is hitting the road again
Grammy Award Winner Lyle Lovett is known for his intelligent Western Swing-tinged Country Music. His witty lyrics and eclectic mix of sounds ranging from folk to big band swing form an unforgettable catalog of songs and although he emerged in the 80s, this musical chameleon is still a fearless innovator in the Country world to this day.
Lovett returns to the stage with his distinctive voice intermingled with wry wordplay, moving dextrously from upbeat Country bangers like 'Cow Boy Man' to the softer, bittersweet ballads he is synonymous with, with help from his long-running backup band! With a veteran sense of cool and calm, he conjures fireside storytelling moments with impeccable guitar playing, a dry sense of humour and a twinkle in his eye.

Lyle Lovett & his Big Band Delivers
This show & the entire venue made for a great evening. Although our seats were perhaps a tiny bit too close (4th row Center,) the music had us and the crowd rocking. The music was the best but his banter with the audience & his band members and introducing them like a father would a favorite child made the evening more intimate. The "big band" Texas/country Rock a Billy sound was a delight and even with an almost 3 hour concert, we were left wanting more. The only negative for the night was after the show ended, security over hustled people out of the venue not leaving any time to browse the vendors selling merchandise, music & the like. We felt sorry for them as with the great crowd and concert, I am sure they could have sold well. Lyle Lovett has been here before and we all hope he will return soon as we plan to be there when he does. Excellent event. Thanks Lyle. ... Read more

Lyle Lovett and his Large Band/Friends
The venue at McGrath Theater is great and we had wonderful seats in the orchestra section. We took our adult children with us and they also enjoyed the show. What a wonderful evening it was with no rain in sight.
Because of the virus, Lyle Lovett was missing some of his band. He had guests on the base and saxophone, who were accomplished professional artists.
The McGrath Theater venue is a beautiful compound. We will return and bring friends.
The management could ensure that there are more food vendors as there was only one choice and they had limited offerings with no sides and only small package condiments.
We could not locate recycling receptacles only trash barrels.
The email that we received prior to the show indicated that the gates opened at 5:30 but they didn't open until 6:30 and the show started later than 7:30. Had we known, we would have eaten before arriving at the theater.
We paid $20 in advance to park, only to discover that parking was $10 at the venue.
Lyle Lovett performed to five stars, and the McGrath Theater is also five stars, with the management falling short of that.

Love Lyle Lovett all across the USA
I've had the great opportunity to see Lyle Lovett all over the US. The first was in 1993 when Julia Roberts introduced him as her husband in Noblesville, IN.

I traveled to Alabama so see his concert with Vince Gill. He never disappoints ... Read more
