AN ACOUSTIC EVENING with Lyle Lovett and John Hiatt Coming to The King Center

The King Center presents an AEG Presents production, AN ACOUSTIC EVENING WITH Lyle Lovett AND JOHN HIATT, on Sunday, October 22, 7 p.m. Tickets go on sale Friday, August 4 at Noon and begin at $42.50 (inclusive of fees).

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 as a 'Duo' or with his 'Acoustic Group' or 'The 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 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 Texas State Musician. His works, rich and eclectic, are some of the most beloved of any living artist working today.

John Hiatt, who the Los Angeles Times calls "...one of rock's most astute singer-songwriters of the last 40 years," recently released his 22nd studio album, "Terms of My Surrender." Hiatt, a master lyricist and satirical storyteller, weaves hidden plot twists into fictional tales ranging in topics including redemption, relationships, growing older, and surrendering on his terms. The new record is musically rooted in acoustic blues, accentuated by Hiatt's soulful, gritty voice, which mirrors the gravity of his reflective lyrics. His songs have been recorded by artists as diverse as Bob Dylan, Bonnie Raitt ("Thing Called Love"), Emmylou Harris, Iggy Pop, Rosanne Cash (#1 country hit, "The Way We Make A Broken Heart"), the Jeff Healey Band ("Angel Eyes"), and even the cartoon bear band of Disney's film, The Country Bears. In recent years he's done a series of shows with Lyle Lovett, which he refers to as "our little Smothers Brothers comedy show," that's brought out other spins on his art.
