Lyle Lovett and his Large Band
Lake Superior Big Top Chautauqua Ski Hill Road, Bayfield, Wisconsin 54814
A singer, composer and actor, Lyle Lovett has broadened the definition of American music in a career that spans 14 albums. Coupled with his gift for storytelling, the Texas-based musician fuses elements of country, swing, jazz, folk, gospel and blues in a convention-defying manner that breaks down barriers. Whether touring as a duo or with his acoustic group or his large band, Lovett's live performances show not only the breadth of this Texas legend's deep talents, but also the diversity of his influences. Since his self-titled debut in 1986, Lyle Lovett has received four Grammy Awards and was given the Americana Music Association's inaugural Trailblazer Award and was named Texas State Musician.
