Lovett tours with Acoustic Group

Emerging from the pandemic, the dates mark his first in-person shows since
March 2020. Kicking off Feb. 26 with two nights in Alexandria, Va., the tour will be throughout the south, culminating in his home state of Texas. Tickets go on sale Nov. 19.

The show will feature stripped-down arrangements of Lovett standards as well as a preview of songs from his upcoming Verve Records release scheduled for May

Lovett's Acoustic Group features longtime bassist Viktor Krauss, who has played with Lovett since 1994, and violinist Luke Bulla, who's played and sung in Lovett's different configurations since 2009. Veteran country and bluegrass multi-instrumentalist Jeff White, who reunited with Lovett for his last Acoustic Group tour in 2020, will play acoustic guitar, mandolin and sing on the tour. Tennessee Dobro player Josh Swift, who also played on the 2020 Acoustic Group tour, will play Dobro and sing.

Lovett will perform alongside The Royale Philharmonic Orchestra in Orlando on Jan. 25 as part of the Dr. Phillips Centers Steinmetz Hall's Grand Celebration Season. Lovett and his Acoustic Group will play two nights at Dallas' Majestic Theater, April 8-9, to celebrate the venue's 100-year anniversary.

uring the pandemic Lovett transitioned his onstage singer-songwriter in-the-round series (in recent years doing tours with Vince Gill, John Hiatt, Shawn Colvin and Robert Earl Keen) to livestream series. This Friday marks the twentieth "Lyle Lovett and..." online performance, and will feature guests Ted Koppel, Rodney Crowell and Steve Earle. The free-to-watch livestream will be dedicated to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) awareness. Lovett plans to continue the online series even after he returns to playing in-person concerts.
