Lyle Lovett and his Acoustic Group will be performing at the Ponte Vedra Concert Hall on Wednesday and Thursday, October 1 and 2, 2025.
Singer, composer, and actor – Lovett has broadened the definition of American music in a career that spans 14 albums. Since his self-titled debut in 1986, he’s evolved into one of music’s most vibrant and iconic performers. Coupled with his gift for storytelling, the Texas-based musician fuses elements of country, swing, jazz, folk, gospel, and blues in a convention-defying manner that breaks down barriers.
Among his many accolades, besides the four Grammy Awards, he was given the Americana Music Association’s inaugural Trailblazer Award and was named Texas State Musician. His works, rich and eclectic, are some of the most beloved of any artist working today. Whether touring as a ‘Duo’ or with his ‘Acoustic Group’ or his ‘Large Band,’ Lovett’s live performances show not only the breadth of this Texas legend’s deep talents, but also the diversity of his influences, making him one of the most compelling and captivating musicians in popular music.
