After successful runs on the East Coast in 2015 and in the South in 2016, Vince Gill and Lyle Lovett are headed West in 2017 for the third installment of their Songs and Stories Tour.
The tour kicks off on March 22 in Thousand Oaks, Calif., and concludes on March 30 in Santa Ynez, Calif., with seven westerly dates in between, including stops in Las Vegas and San Francisco. The stripped-down shows will once again feature Vince and Lyle singing songs and telling stories—just a couple of guys onstage with their guitars.
“For a night like this, there is no plan,” Vince 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 says. “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.”
