Hang on folks while I take a moment to “gush” …If you are a true music lover and appreciate high level musicianship, you must go see @lyle_lovett and his Large Band. His all star 14 piece unit will take you on an emotional, soulful and funky sonic journey guided along by Lyle’s unmistakably emotional vocal style and his equally original and clever songwriting. With a backup vocal group that will tear your heart out, punchy horn section, and exciting solos that will get you up off your feet all glued together by the solid heartbeat of the rhythm section… the legendary team of Leeland Sklar on bass and Russ Kunkel on drums. This is a show that should not be missed! 📷 @lynngoldsmith
The Large Band and I start our 2024 tour Saturday in Albuquerque, New Mexico. I feel so privileged to work with such iconic, amazingly-talented musicians and wonderful people. From left to right, TOP ROW, next to me: @russellkunkel, @leland.sklar, Jim Cox, and @jeffwhitebluegrass. MIDDLE ROW: @amykeysvox, Willie Greene, Jr., @lamontvanhook, Charles Rose, and @bradfordleali. BOTTOM ROW: @macehibbard1, Steve Herrman, @buckreid33, @jamesdharrah, and @warrenhoodmusic.

Telluride, CO, 6/23/24: Thanks to the @telluridebluegrassfestival for inviting the Large Band and me back to play. It’s an honor to be included in such a stellar lineup. We loved hearing @jerrydouglas and @tommyemmanuelcgp and @mollytuttle and Golden Highway. We loved that our dear friend, the King of Telluride, @sambushband, was willing to stay to the end of the festival to sit in with us and play Same Ol’ River. I love you, Sam. Congratulations on your 50th Telluride!
We’re counting down the days until Lyle Lovett returns for an incredible 25th appearance on July 9!

Stroll down memory lane: 🤵 Playing his 13th show in 2007 – a co-headline with K.D. Lang 🎉 Backstage with one of his many his Piece of the Rock Awards in 2005 🎻 His Large Band got even larger in 2023, appearing with the Colorado Symphony 📆 See you in two weeks

The Large Band and I are officially on the road. Thanks to @jamielenfestey for getting us started in Albuquerque last night. The audience was stellar, as were our special guests @billhearnemusic and Doug Hudson and Russell Fory, from @bandgeckos. The Large Band and I are excited to be in Telluride tonight for the @telluridebluegrassfestival. Riding the bus across West Texas through Marfa, Valentine, and Van Horn to Albuquerque was a great way to ease into road life. I still love to look at the world through its windows. My friend and hero @michaelmartinmurphey puts it all in perspective in one of my favorite songs, West Texas Highway. Thanks, Murph. Thanks, you all, for allowing the Large Band and me to get together and do what we love to do. We look forward to seeing you on the road.

@raviniafestival, Highland Park, IL, 6/30/24: Thank y’all for being a great audience and for tuning into @93xrt. @martylennartzxrt was nice enough to introduce the Large Band and me that night. Marty’s and XRT’s support means the world. Thanks to @clintblack for doing the show with us. Being able to often see friends who live in different parts of the country is one of the great bonuses of touring. I met novelist and journalist Laurence Gonzales in 1996 when he interviewed me for @mensjournal. We became friends initially because of our mutual love of motorcycling. We went riding together with my parents and @chrishainestours in Baja; Laurence spent time with us in Klein. I watched his daughters grow into beautiful adults with families of their own. Here he is Sunday on the steps of my @senatorscoaches bus with his wife, Debbie, and son, Jonas. Deb brought her homemade enchiladas and salsa and El Milagro tortilla chips; Jonas brought the pure joy and enthusiasm only a 21-year-young man can. Laurence filled me in on his latest book. I enjoyed catching up with them at Ravinia and snapping a few shots. Real friends are a rare treasure.

@tajmahalblues’ version of Sweet Home Chicago played in my head as I woke to this view on our overnight drive from @uptowntheaterkc in Kansas City, MO, to @raviniafestival, in Highland Park, IL. I love seeing our country. The Large Band and I start playing our Ravinia set Sunday evening at 7 and stop at 8:30. Come early if you’d like to see us. Thanks to the folks @93xrt for their support all these years. Thanks to you all for being a great audience last night in Kansas City.
@uptowntheaterkc, Kansas City, MO, 6/28/24: The Uptown has been one of my favorite venues since James Gilmer, John Hagen, and I first played there in 1987, opening a show for @asleepatthewheel1970. Thank y’all for being an incredible audience last Friday night. We can’t wait to see you again.
@kivaauditorium, Albuquerque, NM, 6/22/24: Thanks to @jamielenfestey for kicking off our summer tour at Kiva Auditorium. Thank y’all for being a great audience.
