The First Announcement Of The 2017 Lowell Summer Music Series Lineup
The Lowell Summer Music Series announced its first show of the 2017 season and it is an amazing one. Twenty-time GRAMMY© award winner Vince Gill and his band will appear on Saturday, June 17th!
My Top Ten Shows of 2015!
I saw 224 shows in 2015. Yes, I know, that sounds like an insane number considering I have a day job that is completely unrelated to music. How would I choose my top ten, with another fifteen as runners-up? All the shows except one were at least very good, and I thought that narrowing the list would not be easy.
It turned out not to be difficult at all. The top ten (or eleven as you will read below) were clear to me, as were the runners-up.
The Incomparable Vince Gill And Lyle Lovett Shine In A Rare Duo Show
I knew we would be treated to an intimate experience with Vince Gill and Lyle Lovett at the Capitol Center for the Arts when I saw the stage was set with two chairs, two mics, and a guitar rack. And, oh yes, a small table between the chairs. It was as if they were in their living room.
Lyle Lovett and Vince Gill
Lyle has toured as a duo, trio, and quartet with the likes of Guy Clark, John Hiatt, and Joe Ely, but I believe this is the first time he has toured with Vince in this format. They did only a small handful of dates (either three or four as I recall the tour schedule), and judging by the show I saw, it was a resounding success.
The Time Jumpers Amaze!
My first night in Nashville landed me at 3rd and Lindsley to see The Time Jumpers, a band I was thrilled to finally be seeing.
Vince Gill
Fronted by Vince Gill, a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, The Time Jumpers play mostly Western swing. Even though they have been together since 1998, their first album was only released in 2007. Read the rest of this entry
