Lyle Lovett & His Acoustic Group at the Shalin Liu in Rockport MA, 5/4/2025

Lyle Lovett is a phenomenal talent and great performer – you should see him any time you get a chance. He was in Rockport at the Shalin Liu with his “Acoustic Group” a few weeks ago – great show.

We saw the Sunday “matinee” at 5pm, which meant that you could still see the harbor throughout the whole show.

The “acoustic group” includes some real heavy hitters:

• Leland Sklar on bass. Amazing session player since the early 70s; part of The Section
• Russ Kunkel on drums. Also an amazing session player on hundreds of key LA recorded albums from the seventies forward.
• Jim Cox on keyboards (mostly piano). Very well known touring and studio session player
• Jeff White on guitar. Grammy award winning producer, member of the Chieftans, and a great bluegrass artist in his own right as well as recording with Alison Krauss and being part of the Earls Of Leicester
• Keith Sewell on mandolin. The youngest on stage – but has recorded with Ricky Skaggs, Dixie Chicks, Albert Lee, and Lovett

Needless to say the sound of a phone camera from ~80 ft away doesn’t replicate the sound of the venue, which is just fantastic.

Don't Even Dept : #LeeSklar & #LyleLovett large band gigging at a #YMCA somewhere in Ohio ? This is what happens to attitudes after you do a #Shriners venue the size of a city block. Everything else becomes a corner dive. #RodneyDangerfield woulda loved it. Kidding utterly. Venues are where they are (runs away)...
🤣🐾🤘☕

Well, Here's #LeeSklar on tour with #LyleLovett large band wandering about the monstrously huge #MasonicTempleTheatre in #Detroit, Michigan. You know that #StarWars scene where Leia and the gang escape down a chute that lands them in a dumpster / cesspool pit with monsters ? Well that doesn't happen but pretty sure this building has one of those. It's gigantic
