Lyle Lovett

Any chance to see Lyle Lovett live in concert is a must see. This extreme talent forges between Texas Troubadour, Minister of Gospel, and Folk musician extraordinaire. I was on the team when Lyle Lovett and his large band broke and earned him a Grammy for Best Country Male Vocalist. Waters run deep with emotion and Lyle is no stranger to it in his writing. A master story teller; watching Lyle, live performing songs by Lester Young, Bob Wills and Guy Clark makes you lean in a little more. Meeting Lyle at the Greek Theater in Berkley was a moment I’ll not soon forget. Quiet, Introspective, intelligent he made us all feel welcome, especially when one of my guests said her mom was a huge fan but was running late and missed the access to get backstage. Lyle said wait a minute let’s go find her, and he proceeded to venture to the stage and look for her mom. Gracious and kind Lyle spent the next 30 minutes entertaining us with “Tales from the Road” he called them. Taking the time, speaking to each of the individuals who were our guests Backstage, he made an impression on all of us. By the way this was preshow, so after speaking to him and then watching him perform we all were mystified.
