Written by Staff on September 16, 2023
TROY, NEW YORK: Due to circumstances beyond the Music Hall’s control Steve Earle will no longer be able to perform at the October 8th show. Lyle Lovett will now team with Chris Isaak in Conversation and Song! Chris will be making his debut at the Troy Savings Bank Music Hall! With over 40 years in music, platinum selling records, Grammy nominations, an actor on the big screen in That Thing You Do! and Silence of the Lambs, we are thrilled to be adding Chris to this show!
Four-time Grammy Award-winning singer, composer and actor Lyle Lovett confirms new details for his fall tour, which will co-headline shows next month with Chris Isaak. Whether touring with his Large Band, Acoustic Group, or in conversation and song format, Lovett’s live performances show not only the breadth of the Texas legend’s deep talents, but also the diversity of his influences, making him one of the most compelling and captivating artists in popular music. The upcoming shows will feature songs from across Lovett’s extensive catalog, including his acclaimed album, 12th of June, which was produced by Lovett and Chuck Ainlay and released last year. Coupled with his gift for storytelling, the record further highlights Lovett’s ability to fuse elements of jazz, country, western swing, folk, gospel and blues in a convention-defying manner that breaks down barriers. Of the album, The Wall Street Journal hails, “Few artists can bring all of these moods and sounds into one place and put a personal stamp on them all; Lyle Lovett does that.” Lovett has broadened the definition of American music in a career that spans 14 albums. Since his self-titled debut in 1986, he has evolved into one of music’s most vibrant and iconic performers. Among his many accolades, besides four Grammy Awards, he was given the Americana Music Association’s inaugural Trailblazer Award, was named Texas State Musician and is a member of both the Texas Heritage Songwriters’ Association Hall of Fame and the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame.
