Lyle Lovett Confirms Olympia Theatre Show
Venue: Olympia Theatre:



From: 31-03-2009 Until: 31-03-2009

Lyle Lovett and his band have confirmed an Irish concert at The Olympia Theatre, Dublin.

Lovett's latest album 'It's Not Big, It's Large' was released in October, 2008.

Lyle is one of the all-time great American singer/songwriters. His voice is unique but his antecedents are recognizable having recorded thirteen albums, released 21 singles and been the recipient of four Grammy Awards including Best Male Country Vocal Performance and Best Country Album.

In his work two roads come together, the trail blazed by the great Texas storytellers of whom Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark are the best known and the crooked highway navigated by sophisticated song-writers such as Randy Newman and Tom Waits.

Lovett also displays a literary talent that has made him part of the tradition of American ironists. This is probably the aspect of Lovett that interested director Robert Altman, who cast him in four films ('The Player', 'Short Cuts', 'Pret-a-Porter', 'Cookie's Fortune') and had him score a fifth ('Dr. T and the Women').

Don't miss this opportunity to see one of the world's premiere country music acts live in the intimate surrounds of the Olympia Theatre this March.
