Lyle Lovett  and John Hiatt are two of contemporary music’s greatest and most celebrated singer-songwriters. It is a rare occasion when an audience gets to see such talent as this together on one intimate stage.

Lyle Lovett first appeared on the scene in the late 80’s. His recording and performance career has brought us great moments of Big Band Texas Swing, tender countrified Acoustic Folk, and always that brilliant Texas influenced wit. He has even dabbled in Hollywood films, including the much-celebrated "the Player", directed by Robert Altman, plus his film scoring including collaboration with Randy Newman. His recording work has been rewarded with Grammy Awards for Country recordings, even though his various recordings have largely been rejected by mainstream country radio. His latest CD is again with his Large Band, and is titled "It’s Not Big, It’s Large". For more info on Lyle Lovett go to www.lylelovett.com

John Hiatt, who hails from Indiana, but lives in Nashville (and is a big Predator fan), has a recording career that spans way back to the mid-70’s with his Vinyl Collector’s favourite, “Overcoats”. Bouncing around several record companies he did not find real success until his late 80’s recording “ Bring the Family”, which was recorded in only four days with his musical friends, Ry Cooder, Nick Lowe, and Jim Keltner, later to be know collectively as Little Village.

This CD offered us the Hiatt classics, “Have a Little Faith in Me”, “Lipstick Sunset”, “Memphis in the Meantime”, and “Thing Called Love”. Its success both commercially and critically would provide the foundation for 9 more John Hiatt CD’s, the most recent being “Master of Disaster”, released in 2005. Hiatt’s work has been recorded by many other noted artists that include Bob Dylan, Bonnie Raitt, Eric Clapton, Willie Nelson, Linda Ronstadt, Jimmy Buffett and Iggy Pop to name just a few.
