"Two of Texas’ greatest singer/songwriters Lyle Lovett & Robert Earl Keen will turn the stage into their front porch for one special acoustic evening at the Majestic Theatre on Friday, May 24, 2013. Performing together for a rare opportunity you won’t want to miss!
For
nearly three decades, Lyle Lovett has defined the modern Texas
singer-songwriter. Fusing elements of the blues, country, folk, gospel
and jazz,
four-time Grammy winner Lovett—in a career that spans 15 albums and
more than four million records sold—has created his own style of
Americana, defying convention and breaking down barriers along the way.
Lovett began his music career while attending Texas A&M University in the late ’70s, where he graduated with Bachelors’
degrees in journalism and German. From his self-titled debut album in 1986 through 2012’s
Release Me,
each of Lovett’s releases has served as a powerful reminder
that he possesses one of the most distinctive voices in music. His
sell-out concerts, whether with his versatile Large Band or in an
intimate acoustic setting, serve as showcases for Lovett’s
unique gift for storytelling and the tradition of timeless music Lovett
continues to create.
As
singer/songwriter Robert Earl Keen has built a reputation as one of the
nation’s finest musical storytellers, he has been guided by several
self-imposed rules and traditions
that are often the antithesis of music industry standards.
It’s
a formula that has worked well for Keen since he began performing in
1981 and paving the way for a generation of songwriters and performers
who make a living on the road.
He paints musical portraits that are as vivid as sunsets over the great
Southwest and stories that are as compelling and timeless as Cormac
McCarthy novels. But what separates the Americana music pioneer from
other songwriters is that he matches this lyrical
literature with irresistible melodies, resulting in music that attracts
thinkers and dancers alike. His songs are infused with such deep
insight and humor that a new meaning and perspective is revealed with
each listen, allowing his songs to grow more profound
with time. That’s why artists including George Strait, Willie Nelson,
Johnny Cash, Lyle Lovett and the Dixie Chicks have chosen to record his
songs over the years."
