Lyle Lovett Instagram – @uptown_theatre_napa, Napa, CA, 3/15/24: The Uptown Theatre was kind enough to book the Acoustic Group and me for two nights last week. The folks who run the Uptown take great care of us and our production crew and make putting up the show easy. It’s a pleasure to play there and to be able to spend two days in such a beautiful part of the world. The audiences both nights were stellar. It was an exciting weekend—Jim Cox’s birthday Saturday—and @ramblinjackofficial surprised the band and me Saturday night, knocking on the door of the bus about 15 minutes before the show to let us know he was there. We asked him to sit in. He sang Dylan’s “Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right” and Woody Guthrie’s “This Land Is Your Land.” Ramblin’ Jack was in great form as always, charming and compelling as ever. We and everyone loved seeing him and hearing him. Because of our short drives last week, our @senatorscoaches driver, Denny Autry, was able to sit in with us on piano four nights—Redwood City, Folsom, and both nights in Napa. Denny toured for years playing gospel piano with The McGruders. The band and I ask him to join us any night he doesn’t have to sleep during the show to drive us overnight. Denny’s an amazing musician. | Posted on 18/Mar/2024 19:44:05
