Lyle Lovett and His Large Band

An Evening with Lyle Lovett and his Large Band will feature an arrangement of Lovett standards, as well as songs from his critically acclaimed album, “12th of June.” Watch the band perform on PBS’ “Austin City Limits” last fall.

Produced by Chuck Ainlay and Lovett, “12th of June” was released last year on Verve Records. The album features a mix of new originals, standards by Nat King Cole and Dave Frishberg, and a Horace Silver instrumental, representing Lovett’s dynamic live performances with his Large Band. Coupled with his gift for storytelling, the new album continues to highlight Lovett’s ability to fuse elements of jazz, country, western swing, folk, gospel and blues in a convention-defying manner that breaks down barriers.
