Fox Theatre Features Lyle Lovett and John Hiatt, 6/21

Lyle Lovett and John Hiatt are teaming up for an intimate acoustic show at the Fabulous Fox Theatre on June 21st at 8 p.m. The show will feature both artists performing side-by-side, alternating songs from their respective careers. Utilizing their dynamic chemistry to mix witty banter with finely crafted country, swing, folk, and blues, Lovett and Hiatt have been touring together in one fashion or another since 1989.

Four-time Grammy Award winner Lyle Lovett has created his own style of Americana music in a career that spans 14 albums INCLUDING THE RECENT NATURAL FORCES. Since his self-titled debut in 1986, Texas-based Lovett defies convention by fusing elements of the blues, country, folk, gospel and jazz with a unique gift for storytelling, as evidenced by such well-known songs as "If I Had a Boat," "She's No Lady," and "My Baby Don't Tolerate."

John Hiatt is currently on the road in support of his 19th studio release The Open Road (New West Records). Known for his extraordinary songwriting talent, Hiatt was inducted into the Nashville Songwriter's Hall of Fame in 2008 and also was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award in Songwriting from The Americana Music Association. Hiatt has written songs covered by artists in a wide variety of genres such as Bob Dylan, Rosanne Cash, Willie Nelson, Jewel and
Bonnie Raitt, who most famously recorded "Thing Called Love."

Lovett and Hiatt, each with more than a dozen albums to their credit, swap stories and songs, setting aside respective bands for the opportunity of delivering one of the most compelling "unplugged" concerts on the road.
