Four-time Grammy Award winner Lyle Lovett is equally comfortable in pop, rock, blues and country. Born just outside Houston, Lovett is one of America's great songwriters and has a gift for big band arrangements that has no precedent among his contemporaries. He also displays a literary talent that has made him part of the tradition of American ironists.

He’s been at the top of the American songwriting and performing game for more than two decades. His latest disc, Natural Forces, comes out on October 20 and features a dozen tunes – half of them written by Lovett, the other half by such esteemed Texas songwriters as Robert Earl Keen and Townes Van Zandt.

This marks Lovett’s second appearance at Seven Days of Opening Nights, but his first with his phenomenal Large Band. Tickets for this performance are available at Ticketmaster.com.
