Vince Gill, Lyle Lovett Reunite For Tour Dates In 2017

Vince Gill and Lyle Lovett will reunite for a nine-city tour beginning in March 2017. The duo previously teamed for a series of shows in 2015 and 2016. Each show will include solo performances and collaborations, and the artists will serve as their own accompanists.

“For a night like this, there is no plan,” Gill said. “I know Lyle won’t have a plan, and I won’t either. What he plays will inspire me, and probably vice-versa. It’ll be like playing ping-pong. Whatever song he chooses to sing will inspire the next song that comes out of me.”

“I enjoy shows that are not planned out,” Lovett observes. “This will be two songwriters in the round. It’s informal, so there will be lots of ad-libbing. It will be like little snapshots of our experiences.”

“Just two guys sitting on stools, telling stories and singing songs,” Gill says. “No big bands.  I saw James Taylor once with just him and his guitar, and after that show I felt like I knew him a whole lot better than I ever did before. That’s what’ll happen between Lyle and me, too, and I’m looking forward to it.”

March 22: Thousand Oaks, Calif.; Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza
